Hell the budget for 2015 was under 700 billion, how do you lose 2.8 trillion in one quarter with a budget of .6 Trillion?
Now on the other side of the coin, the GVT is too good at losing money, as the joke goes they couldn't even make a profit on a whore house. Only the US GVT would set things up such that they get rid of prime real estate (e.g., Fort Ord) and pay the city of Monterrey 100 Million to take it.
I think this an attempt to put Hillary's $6 billion loss at the DOS in the noise. But they overdid it.
It is just Russian spin and misrepresentation.
The way I understand it is that if a $10k piece of gear moves through the pipeline where 10 transfer papers are made and 3 of these, for good or bad reasons, file it in some way that the auditors are not happy with it has created $30k worth of “wrongful adjustments” on the way. Nevermind that it ended up where it was supposed to.
