Dr. Ben Carson has discovered over $500 billion (that's with a 'B') in errors and accounting mistakes during his audit of the Obama administration’s Housing and Urban Development budget.

One of Dr. Carson’s first orders after being confirmed as the Secretary of HUD was a thorough audit of the agency, which has been accused of fraud and over-budgeted projects throughout the entire Obama administration.

What did the auditors find? Over $520 billion in budgetary mistakes and clerical errors.

The last HUD Secretary was Julian Castro, who was supposed to be Hillary’s VP, until Tim Kaine outclassed him /s.

LOLOLOLOLOL! Now that there is funny. Both show lot’s of “ass” with absolutely NO class. One of those two assclowns “outclassing” the other is a pretty low bar.

Well that’s a nice interpretation and probably correct. A lot of times nobody knew what GHWBush was talking about. I suspect he himself often didn’t know what he was talking about. GHWBush was not only enigmatic who had no vision of a free America - “the vision thing” - and self-contradictory - “read my lips” - but was basically a socialist.

WOW-—As a life long bookkeeper- this is beyond my imagination. I was hired by 2 clients in the past where I found embezzlement, but this is more than just a huge amount of money.

In less than 3 months on the job, Dr. Carson’s auditors found this kind of missing money. Obama’s administration couldn’t find anything in 8 years.

I saw a thread here on FR about a year ago that stated the Inspector General (auditor) for HUD for the year ending 9-30-15 found that over 47% of the entire HUD budget was spent without proper accounting records, and that a vast majority of funds were being paid out in CASH with no accounting trail.

I am sure that Obama & his minions knew that and that they even stepped up their embezzlement. I can barely imagine the frustration of the Inspector Generals working under Obama.

HUD has been a joke since Clinton was in office & Henry Cisneros was in charge of HUD.

This has to lead to prison for many people & possible the demise of HUD totally. & Immediately !!!

I sure hope Sessions has talented staff under his control & can clean this up.

A socialist? Really? In what way? People on this website love to throw out terms in an accusatory way, but can never back them up and offer no evidence as to their accusations.

Whenever there was a problem, he, as his son, thought government was the solution. He was a big proponent for the grotesque “New World Order” the “one world” solution. HW was all about “political correctness”.

The information not being more widely reported is not something to be accepted. There are ways to ameliorate the Leftist bias, by putting pressure on the AP & networks from their local outlets. I know it is doable, if we have the right local contacts who can demand copy.

I know from personal experience at a time when the sample I understood at the time was 98+ percent liberal at the higher level, that working the local outlets the right way, would sometimes work to get stories out, which were otherwise being ignored.

Properly doing what they can, playing the angles, the 2% on our side can have a lot bigger effect than 2% would imply.

My first thought when I read this was Catherine Austin Fitts. She is one tough lady, she won out in the end (meaning they didn’t off her), and she built a new life for herself. I love her videos.

I hope the Trump Administration can do something about all this. I’m sure this is repeated in many other departments across the government. Just plugging these leaks will go a long way toward solving our deficit problems.

THIS JUST IN---Obama Siphoned off GSE Dividends To Prop Up OBAMACARE
ZeroHedge ^ | April 2, 2017 / FR Posted on by Zakeet

Earlier this month, Harvard Ph.D. Jerome Corsi of InfoWars (@jerome_corsi) and a CPA "who worked for two years for a major U.S. accounting firm as an outside auditor for Freddie Mac," confirmed a 2012 scheme hatched by the Obama administration.

The audacious looting involved funnelling hundreds of billions in dividends from Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSE) Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to prop up the failing Obamacare program - by paying subsidies to insurers to remain in the system. [Snip]

The conclusion reached by Corsi and others is that this was probably illegal. In fact, House Republicans actually sued the Obama Administration in 2014 over the fact that the subsidies to insurers weren't appropriated by congress and won, which the Obama administration appealed.

Zerohedge and the Atlanta Journal Constitution pointed out last week, the Trump administration has until May 22nd to decide whether or not to pursue the appeal: (Excerpt) Read more at zerohedge.com ...

“Weren’t we all wondering where Obama got the money for his special projects when we knew it didn’t come from Congress?”

Since I am but a lowly worm, I can only wonder what and why higher worms have not questioned Obama’s special project monies for a long time and tried to find the answers. Maybe Obummer has been dispensing largesse for a long time out of both sides of his mouth.
