As of today, the Pentagon fails its seventh consecutive financial audit, unable to account for $824 billion of its budget.
Excuse me! How does one “misplace” $824 billion". How do you “misplace” billions of dollars SEVEN TIMES IN A ROW? This used to NEVER happen. All of a sudden it happens EVERY time. I call BS on this…something stinks, and it smells like secret black budgets, illegal donations to foreign countries, or money laundering.
If you gave your child an allowance, out of which he was made responsible for buying his school paper and pencils, and after seven consecutive allowance payments, your child tells you that it cannot buy any paper or pencils because the allowance “was lost”, what would you do to correct the problem?
Its really that simple, in this case as well. If our government institutions want to play like children, using excuses like “I lost it” or “the dog ate it” or “someone stole it” over and over again, then we should treat them like children and inform them that they do not get another “allowance” until they found the last one that “they lost”.
If they scream and throw a fit, trying to scare everyone that the world will end if they cannot fund themselves – let them. But hold firm that they get no more funds until they grow up and act responsible for the monies that the American People give them. Its drop-dead easy policy – especially for parents who have been down this road.
