Actually, they are not ‘myth’. The Pentagon has already admitted of they ‘lost’ tens of millions. Same for the Army. Trust me, that is only for starters. And that is only the military.
But that is not the real point anyway. Point being let’s stop spreading the greenback around the world indiscriminately (like on senseless and endless wars/occupations), bleeding ourselves dry supporting the illegals, and funding things Uncle Sugar has no business funding (like the murder of innocent humans).
THEN, we can look at the other things.
Frankly, if we just spent money (coined by the Treasury - not Federal Reserve Notes) on legitimate, Constitutionally authorized endeavors, we would not be having this (electronic) conversation in the first place!
USA budget $3.34 trillion ... Army loses 10s of millions.
Trillion = 1,000,0000,000,000 thats 10 to the 12th
Million = 1,000,000 that’s 10 to the 6th
Ok doing this in my head!
Let’s assume all four services lose 100 million dollars each, the intelligence community another 100 million, the rest of the government another 500 million, that’s a total of $1 billion. 1 billion that’s 10 to the 9th. So then with the current budget at $3.34 trillion. Then 1/3.34= .3 (rounding up) times .001 that’s .3 times 10 to the -3 = .0004 So if you could solve the above “assumed waste”, you have “saved” at best .04%. I say we still go off a cliff.
Looks like myth to me!
