Given the size of HUD’s budget, that’s a highly improbable claim. There’s not enough money flowing through the department to make a half-trillion go missing.

You sure you checked this out before posting it here?

Have the NSA check to see if Obama has any offshore accounts.

Trump wants to cut $6.2 billion from their budget and the Rats are squealing like stuck pigs. If they can’t account for half a trillion dollars, they won’t miss a lousy $6.2 billion.

I have heard of absurd amounts of money misappropriated at HUD for a while, since before Trump was elected. This could be a total after many years.

What...again?

Cuomo, when he was at HUD, during the Clinton presidency, had as large or larger amount that went "missing"!

Chicken feed. The Pentagon knows how to lose track of trillions and the only “black budget” most of what the Pentagon can’t track is the black budget Congress critters split among themselves.

From Article I Section 9: “. . . and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.”

Face it folks, Congress not only does very little of its duty, but instead does much of what not only isn’t its duty, but the opposite thereof.

The purpose of Congress is the reelection of its members. It is hopelessly corrupt until an outside force reforms it.

HUD’s funding is under $50 billion per year and they pay people, maintain facilities and operations, etc., so it can’t 100% be being siphoned off. $520 billion is more than a dozen full years of budget for HUD.

We’d have to go back to the founding of the department to have a prayer of finding $520 billion that COULD be siphoned off, never mind what may actually have been so.

A few hundred billion bucks here, a few hundred billion bucks there and pretty soon it adds up to serious money.

HUD cannot account for just under 5 % of the aggregate 10 billion dollar national debt increase accrued by the 8 years of Obama

The Obama Administration - Never before in the field of human endeavor have so few, stolen so much, from so many, in so short a period of time

This is because of omnibus budgeting. Every agency just gets a big chunk of money. Congress no longer tells them how it must be allocated. That is where Obama kept getting all his spending authority which does not exist.

Don’t they have a computer trail on these billions and trillions of our tax money? Someone ought to go to jail for such irresponsibility. We know where every penny of our money goes, because we have to be careful of every cent. Too bad the wasteful, corrupt government doesn’t treat our tax money like that.

I always misplace large sums of money like this.

In fact, it’s the exact amount I’m missing, too.

I wonder how much of the missing funds from various agencies is being used to pay rogue leftist activists.
