Question: Where’s the money? Trillions missing from DoD (US Dept of Defense)?

Trillions of dollars in “unsupported adjustments” means trillions of dollars unaccounted for. What’s going on? Where is the money? How could this happen? Where are the checks and balances? How much more has gone missing? Is this happening in the other government agencies too? What would happen if a corporation failed to pass an audit like this? Or a taxpayer? Who is responsible for this? Who can we trust to fix it?

Answer: You are absolutely correct. The number is estimated at between 2.3 and 2.6 Trillion dollars. Roughly $8,000 dollars for every man, woman and child in the United States. At the time, the then Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld brought this to the attention of Washington D.C. on September the 10th, 2001. Of course we all know what happened the next day and all was soon forgotten.
It’s interesting to see that we get all worked up about John Edwards’ haircut or Scooter Libby, but issues such as this – issues that deserve wall to wall media attention – are somehow considered of less importance. I just don’t get it.
Can I say it again? Washington D.C. needs an enema.
