As correct as you may be, (a) “the accounting system is messed up” cannot be accepted as an excuse, a raionale or a reason to just ignore the discrepancies, however (b) I think there is some intention - on the part of some - that the actual DOD spending NOT be fully transparent - if it is to Congress it is to the world.
The PROBLEM is that all the good reasons for that leaves tons of gateways for corruption as well.
If they did it could very well lead to the collapse and demise of the FED.
The FED directly and indirectly control America's economy and they are NOT even a branch of our government... and THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN AUDITED in modern times.
Very true, and I'm hoping the fact that they've at last had a public audit, and they seem to be pretty open about the results, is a good sign.
...there is some intention - on the part of some - that the actual DOD spending NOT be fully transparent...
Can't imagine anyone arguing with that.
Don’t just start or stop with the DOD take a look at each of the others...bet ya the rate of money lost is even higher in other departments...maybe not the total amount, but the amount of the fraud in DEW and other places is just as high or higher, of course...they all want to target DOD and the message is clear...there are a bunch of thefts in DOD and all of their suppliers and enhancers in congress and throughout gov just as Eisenhower said in 59-60!
We wonder how Presidents come in with little wealth and leave very wealthy? Not to mention other government people, like Comey, Mueller, Clintons, etc., etc., etc.
