When you are half a trillion off I would expect that someone has an udea of what happened, but I get no idea from this article what it is. Since HUD's budget is around $50 billion that is ten years of spending off. Is the half trillion from no one signing off on the entire Obama administration's spending?

It would have been nice if the article gave some idea of the big cause of the problem instead of listing audit deficiencies. Since most of that is in HUD notes, it looks like they lost control of their lending programs.

Serious jail time for the miscreants.

A few well-placed heads on pikes will do wonders for the performance of those who know they are guilty and could be next...

Nope.

It was Command Intention that loans be given to totally unqualified buyers who would never be able to pay them off.

The sellers and banks get taxpayer funds, the borrowers temporarily have a place to live and the banks ends up with the money AND the property to resell. It's win win win win for everyone but the taxpayer!

I did like this bit.

I guess some of the accountants don't like ‘zeros”, and it just goes to prove the old expression "close enough for government work"...:^)

For example, the OIG said at least $119 billion in errors were due to incorrect rounding.

“We found several instances in which rounding was performed to the nearest billion and hundred billion, while OMB Circular A-136 requires the highest level of rounding to be at the nearest million,” the report said.

This is why there were no budgets. The Obama administration was the world’s largest theft to date.

>HUD was a giant slush fund for the Democrats - Trump needs to have every dollar traced back to the crooked Dem schemes and people that absorbed all this cash.

Then hand it over to the DOJ where Jeff “I know nothing” Sessions refuses to prosecute it.

> I seem to recall Ben Carson talking about this shortly after he was confirmed as HUD Secretary earlier this year.

Ben read the audit reports the media refuses to talk about it. Everyone in DC knew that Obama was using the Federal government to fund the left at every level.

The Democrats have to get the money from somewhere to pay for their condos in Kauai.

This story came out a year ++ back. The 42% of the entire HUD budget could NOT be accounted for. They hand out cash to ‘families with problems’ & could not account for that.

I am a life long bookkeeper/ accounting person. IF I EVER tried to present such financials to any client, I would be prosecuted.

The Inspector General in the story I remember refused to sign anything off because there was so much unaccounted for in their ‘records’.

Under Obama, not accounting for money given to the ghetto crowd seems to have been another arm of the slush fund.

Someone has to be jailed for this behavior.

How did Obama become a multimillionaire in the eight years he was president? Did he skim stimulus money? or HUD money? How did he do it??

2009 would be worse. Audit Agriculture to see where all the Acorn payoffs went. Billions there too.
