Trillions of dollars are missing from the US government. What's going on?

Trillions of dollars are missing from the US government. What's going on? Where is the money? How could this happen? Where are the checks and balances? How much more has gone missing? What would happen if a corporation failed to pass an audit like this? Or a taxpayer? Who is responsible for this? Would your banks continue to handle your bank account if you behaved like this? Would your investors continue to buy your securities if you behaved like this? Learn more in the articles below.

5. 2.3 trillion is missing from the Pentagon budget alone

Here are the possibilities:

1. Massive corruption on a scale that makes Ferdinand Marcos and President Mobutu of Zaire look like penny ante amateurs.

2. Massive black ops on a scale that makes the KGB look like penny ante amateurs.

6. Hey, all the more reason for Republicans to say we shouldn't "trust" government

They'll steal you blind and send you a bill for it.

When are Americans going to wake up and realize that this is what REPUKE government is like? Sure, democrats make mistakes, but NOTHING like these warmongers and thieves.

10. Remember when Kerry said (almost off camera)

"THESE ARE THE BIGGEST BUNCH OF CROOKS...."

Step One.

Change all the laws so that there is no real oversight, and no real rights of the people.

Step Two.

Create a diversion like war or something and rob the country blind.

Step Three.

Just print more money. Bribe the Mint guards to look the other way.

Step Four.

Eventually blame the whole clusterfuck on the Dems.

Step Five.

If that doesn't work, throw in the towel, take the money and run to a waiting palace in Paraguay, THE retirement home!
