Yep, we're talking trillions of dollars here, not millions or even billions.

They’re following the leader, who lost —without complaint from the media— a whopping $6 billion dollars.

Well, after all, there are more important things, like transgender generals.

I don’t understand these numbers.

The entire defense budget for 2015 was about $600 million.

$6.5 trillion in adjustments in one year? That does not sound like reality. The entire federal budget is not (yet) $6.5 trillion.

This is unbelievable. Where is the oversight?? Mac Thornberry, who is head of the armed services oversignt committee in the House, seems to be asleep at the switch but I just checked his campaign financing and it is 73% defense contractors. I am not surprised.

This has been going on for decades. What would happen to any major corporation (or small business, for that matter) that engaged in similar accounting practices?

That is very much more than the total annual military budget. It has to be multi-year and deal with real property items.

Trump will bring back financial integrity. He’s a cheapskate and can’t stand waste and fraud.

I hate Obama and I hate the GD Clintons worse, but this report sounds like total bullshit. Even those dems couldn’t get that far out of whack on a budget so much relatively smaller—even in 25 years or more of governmental screwups.

I see it as an inoculation regarding the $6B that Hillary’s State Dept couldn’t account for. “Oh, Hillary’s was only $6B, compared to the real mess caused by the republican warmongers over the years!!”
