scn64 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 "According to some estimates we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions," Rumsfeld admitted. "We know it's gone. But we don't know what they spent it on," said Jim Minnery, Defense Finance and Accounting Service. Minnery, a former Marine turned whistle-blower, is risking his job by speaking out for the first time about the millions he noticed were missing from one defense agency's balance sheets. Minnery tried to follow the money trail, even crisscrossing the country looking for records. "The director looked at me and said 'Why do you care about this stuff?' It took me aback, you know? My supervisor asking me why I care about doing a good job," said Minnery. He was reassigned and says officials then covered up the problem by just writing it off. "They have to cover it up," he said. "That's where the corruption comes in. They have to cover up the fact that they can't do the job."

GrimHams Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I had a sudden vision of a massive entity shaped like a five-sided geometric figure dropping a huge fat wallet in the toilet. I just had a vision of some lucky [bleep] running out of the pentagon with a MASSIVE suitcase of cash. This is the sort of thing that would only happen in America, and after spurs being typical idiots its put me in a good mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigra00 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Smooth going...now our national debt just rose roughly 15%! :wall: Nah, it's likely a part of the national debt estimate already, they just don't know what the hell they spent this portion on. Lots of people just stole it for themselves, I'm sure. You don't just lose that much money on accident. I find it funny that they can lose 2.3 trillion dollars and effectively say "Uhh, oops? Oh well." but if I don't pay my taxes (which, I don't plan to if I can help it) they'll be on my [wagon] in seconds. I was hounded for months and threatened with 5 years in prison because I "didn't sign up for selective service"...Which ended up being a computer error because someone else shared the same name as me. I literally got a letter saying that I had 2 weeks to comply to their demands (their words) or I would be sent to prison for 5 years and/or charged $250,000 (again, their words). The government isn't as incompetant as they'll have you believe...They just play dumb-as-[cabbage] when it's needed. You can bet that if you don't file a tax return, they'll know about it, and you will get a threatening letter.
