Recently, the Pentagon admitted it couldn’t account for trillions of dollars of US taxpayer money, having failed a massive yearly audit for the sixth year running.
The defense budget of the United States is grotesquely large, its $877 billion dwarfing the $849 billion spent by the next ten nations with the largest defense expenditures. And yet, the Pentagon cannot fully account for the $3.8 trillion in assets and $4 trillion in liabilities it has accrued at US taxpayer expense, ostensibly in defense of the United States and its allies.
In short, the defense budget is the equivalent of “pay-to-play,” in which the American people pay the US government to produce the results necessary to sustain their overinflated sense of self-worth. We Americans have become so accustomed to being the biggest, baddest bully in the global arena that we assume that simply by pouring money into a system that had produced the desired results for more than seventy years that we could keep the good times rolling. But when you allocate money to a system that has been allowed to become conditioned to operate without accountability, don’t be surprised when the shiny mansion on the hill you thought you were buying turns out to be little more than a house of cards.

I think it would be interesting to learn about.
@9HPHFGY5mos5MO
Don't really pay attention to them.
@9HPJYXP5mos5MO
I feel like this is the most important because as the people in a republican democracy, we have the right to know about our government's activity. We cannot solve problems overseas if we don't solve the domestic ones first.
@9HPDVM45mos5MO
The IRS will hunt me down if I misplace 600 dollars and yet Congress can't seem to find trillions of dollars after failing their sixth audit in a row, and as usual, no one is held accountable.
@9HPFHTD5mos5MO
I think that i should do more research and who commit the fraud
@9HPMC795mos5MO
multi-million-dollar fraud is serious, and that money people are putting in and thinking its safe is just ripping people off and possibly just giving them false hopes after there money is gone
@9HPHTV75mos5MO
Defund the facist police state running this country.
