$3,400,000,000,000 Of Taxpayers' Money Is Missing , one year...1998, Feds. lost over a TRILLION taxpayers $$$$. Couldn't even give accounting information....no one goes to jail, no one investigates...
Where's the press accountability? Why investigate every suspicion of corporate mischief while ignoring more serious mischief in DC with the involuntarily (required, not choice..as in investing in stock markets) paid taxpayer $$$$?
The U.S. Government can't balance its books and can't properly explain how it spent $1.8 trillion last year (1998) or account for $1.6 trillion in such assets as parks, buildings, missile launchers, tanks and paper clips.
..In general, the GAO concluded that "because of the serious deficiencies in the government's systems, record-keeping, documentation, financial reporting and controls, amounts reported in the financial statements...do not provide a reliable source of information for decision-making by the government or the public."
