Not the Bee.

[I got the rope]

Yeah ok.

Let’s see if anyone is going to be held accountable. (Crickets)

How does excess spending and bad bookkeeping turn into extra funds available for the future? If the federal government was subject to the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, many government employees and elected officials would be in jail today.

[unixfox]

Chump change to these dumb asses.

[rktman]

Rounding errors. Who knew?

[gov_bean_ counter]

Overstated obligations.

[larrytown]

[MrHead]

Again?
Wasn’t this reported about a month ago?
Or is this another “error”?

[Nervous Tick]

Ain’t it funny how every error is in the direction that favors the left’s position?

[gibsonguy]

The largest money laundering op in history

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Can I get one of these “accounting errors”?

[Boogieman]

Maybe they forgot to figure in the depreciation.

[V K Lee]

IIRC, this is the second accounting error they have
found under this ‘administration’. The first was JUST
as large (and both were not on OUR FAVOR!)
Let’s pray the fools are better at ‘war’ than they seem
to be at accounting; hand fire arms better than cash.

I have been hearikng for many years now how SS and Medicare are going broke. But there are billions to waste on stinking Ukraine.

[bray]

10% for the Big Guy

[BBQToadRibs2]

Oh, Judas Priest. Of course.

[rktman]

And the only place truth lives is on the left. Just ask them.

[Mr.Unique]

DoD has always had problems with inventory valuation. They affix the cost of the last item bought to all previously purchased items.

[RetiredTexasVet]

This is the same Pentagon that has not passed an audit in the last decade ... soon they will have a total of a trillion dollars of accounting errors on the 200 billion dollars we have passed to the crap hole (aka Ukraine).
