This is why it is all hands on deck to stop Elon Musk’s DOGE team.
On Monday, Elon Musk’s DOGE revealed the federal government didn’t trace $4.7 trillion in payments.
$4.7 trillion dollars in payments were left blank, making it nearly impossible to trace, DOGE said.
“The Treasury Access Symbol (TAS) is an identification code linking a Treasury payment to a budget line item (standard financial process),” DOGE explained in a post on X.
“In the Federal Government, the TAS field was optional for ~$4.7 Trillion in payments and was often left blank, making traceability almost impossible. As of Saturday, this is now a required field, increasing insight into where money is actually going. Thanks to US Treasury for the great work,” DOGE said.
Trillions of dollars in taxpayer money went into a federal government black hole!

I’m pretty sure Trump is going to balance the budget. One way or another. Probably start paying down the national debt, too.
4.7 T over how many years I wonder.
One way to find out who got the money is to watch for window jumpers when the transfers stop
Surely they know WHERE the money was sent, even if they don’t have the TAS number. It just makes it harder to audit, but not impossible.
That sounds like the check was not connected back to an appropriation. You can still trace who the check went to and the bank it was deposited into.
Over what period of years?

They know. Just making the guilty think they are ok for now. Make them careless.
Yeah, completely right. How many years of untraceable trillions....?
Gateway Pundit- I am putting the Bongino rule into effect on this one.
How long have we been funding the gubment with continuing resolutions?
Read post 8. 4.7T is one year. But the the accounting system was never used. There were other normal fields they never filled. Also Elon said there were career treasury officials who had never not paid in their entire career, even if the payment was on the do not pay list. It’s pretty crazy.
Dont know...read this...
According to NewsNation the federal government spent $2.7 trillion in payment errors since 2003.
Democrats rallied outside Baltimore’s SS Admin office
demanding Musk keep his hands off of Social Security.
Musk: “We discovered that more than $100 billion of entitlements annually go to individuals with no Social Security Number or even a temporary ID number. ...... at least half of these payments are fraudulent.”
“You’d think that elected Democrats would want to know
who is stealing benefits meant for their constituents.”

It might be for the entire computerized record, which could go back a couple of decades or more. I too wish the timeline was included in more of these notices, or that they'd include an additional breakdown for at least the most recent year.
the current continuing resolution will be coming to an end in about a month from now. It’ll pretty interesting hearing how those thieves argue the need to have a new one, now that their secret is out.
How can it be untraceable? There is always a trace.
