Cooking Books: DOD, HUD Defrauded Taxpayers Of $21 Trillion From 1998 To 2015

On 9-10-2001 Rummy announced the Army couldn't account for Billions, and the next day...

Last year, a Reuters article brought renewed scrutiny to the budgeting practices of the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), specifically the U.S. Army, after it was revealed that the department had “lost” $6.5 trillion in 2015 due to “wrongful budget adjustments.” Nearly half of that massive sum, $2.8 trillion, was lost in just one quarter. Reuters noted that the Army “lacked the receipts and invoices to support those numbers [the adjustments] or simply made them up” in order to “create an illusion that its books are balanced.”

Officially, the DOD has acknowledged that its financial statements for 2015 were “materially misstated.” However, this was hardly the first time the department had been caught falsifying its accounting or the first time the department had mishandled massive sums of taxpayer money.

The cumulative effect of this mishandling of funds is the subject of a new report authored by Dr. Mark Skidmore, a professor of economics at Michigan State University, and Catherine Austin Fitts, former assistant secretary of housing.

And Congress just shovels money at the DOD!

Get Julia Child’s (classic) or America’s test kitchen. Those are the best cooking books. I have the Joy of Cooking too, but it’s so big. Size matters.

Those are about cooking foods. Cooking books takes longer, usually. We start a large cast-iron stewpot over a campfire out in the meadow, get the salted water simmering, then add books. Big journals, hard covers, and coffee-table books first, filled-in with paperbacks and receipt books.

We toss in skin and fat from the last poached deer, drop the cover, and let it simmer for a few days. Then we pull the concertina wire away for access. The neighborhood bears arrive on trash-day morning and eat the cooked books. Yum.

All the kitchen needs is a tablet and wi-fi. Every recipe you could want is online. Clear out the cards and books and make room in your pantry for more mac & cheese.

That's right, make light of the DOD losing track of $21 TRILLION Fucking Dollars!

So you're good with Trump stiffing 3.4 million Americans because his fe fe's are hurt too?

$21 trill? Piffle. Only a minor accounting error. Tromp.Com dealt with those constantly, in many bankruptcies, defaults, bailouts, frauds, etc. You don't really expect the Pentagon, which hasn't won a war since 1945, to keep track of such niggling amounts. Call it a rounding error and proceed.

Don't forget the Black Budgets. Nothing there to lose track of. Move on.
