Being “shocked” about this reminds me of Casablanca.
When you have a government as large as ours, involved in every aspect of life, you will seep billions of dollars without a single person noticing.
Do we not have any accountants working for the Federal government?
But...the system is working EXACTLY how it was designed. It’s not the parasites who are mostly at fault. It is our Congress.
As far as I can tell, the accountants just check if the numbers add up. The accountant doesn’t know if a professor’s labor is worth $3000 or $30000.
