Dr. Ben Carson has discovered over $500 billion (that's with a 'B') in errors and accounting mistakes during his audit of the Obama administration’s Housing and Urban Development budget.

One of Dr. Carson’s first orders after being confirmed as the Secretary of HUD was a thorough audit of the agency, which has been accused of fraud and over-budgeted projects throughout the entire Obama administration.

What did the auditors find? Over $520 billion in budgetary mistakes and clerical errors.

Corruption rules this country. It has become embedded in the political and financial elite culture. I’d like to see some real accountability.

Audit the Fed, Audit Fort Knox.

We’ve been plundered by these predators and nobody has the guts to go after them. Kennedy tried.

$520 million...That’s chump change. Don’t forget the $3 trillion from the Pentagon that went missing and the $6 trillion from the State Dept. that went missing when Hillary was in charge there. You know all that money found homes somewhere.

“The phoniness of the Left.”

Don’t forget the phoniness of the right that lets L do it so they can too. Estimated 1/3 of government leaders worship Satan/pedophiles - R and L. They need to be in the “club” so their buds will keep them in power (Freemason-style).

McCain and Graham work for the Council on Foreign Relations.

McCain has been funded by Soros since 2001 and now Paul Ryan.

Look at the roster of Bohemian Grove attendees.

Learn a lot listening to the grown victims before being killed off.

Not picking on you, just venting.

Obama was under Penney’s authority as she heads the Chicago Satanic rituals he attended. She assigned the humiliating abuse he underwent each week, worst due to his status.

She also chose his administration, all divulged by a regretful fellow participant of satanic rituals mandated by her career choice.

Remember how Holder’s Feds showed up in force when Solyndra went out of business? So no state or local agency could get their financial records. Multiple by 1,000 - Solyndra was on the order of $500 million - no no indictments, no prosecution. Under the Clintons, the kickback was 20% - transfer the money five times and it’s all theirs.

LOL. Thousand Points of Light was indeed a good thing - and is - it still exists. HW Bush highlighted private charitable giving and service and did not cost much other than the time and effort to promote it. I believe there was a yearly grant to help support its infrastructure, but it wasn’t costly. It actually was very effective. To me, this is one thing the government should be promoting - private charitable giving.

You’re preaching to the choir my FRiend. Not mentioning the GOP in my diatribe of the Left does not mean they are not complicit. IMO, the GOP is our greatest political problem.

And this is just under Obama- if they went back further I bet the numbers would be staggering.
HUD like other depts. have been funding demonrats and their pet projects for years

Did they look behind the refrigerator or under the sofa cushions?

Or...


A White House assistant who discovered them said she found them on a table in a library known as the Book Room, to which very few people other than the First Family have access.

.

.

.

Mr. Chertoff said only the President and Mrs. Clinton and one or two of their friends would have been interested in the documents and would have had access to the Book Room. Of that small group, only Mrs. Clinton's fingerprints were found. If someone else moved the documents into the Book Room, they may have failed to leave fingerprints.

In addition to Mrs. Clinton's fingerprints, the bureau found those of Mr. Foster, who reviewed the documents in 1992...   ooops!

We found several instances in which rounding was performed to the nearest billion and hundred billion,

Just think of the programmer(s?) that got rich by merely accumulating the fraction of a cent truncation in banking software.

I misspoke about Hillary. While she was SOS she did not lose $6 trillion, it was only $6 billion.
