Eisenhower warned us about the military-industrial complex growing too big and powerful – now his warnings have to fruition.
Since 1996 the Department of Defense has run up $8.5 trillion of unaccounted for spending.
When the holes came up in paperwork, DOD just made up numbers on the books, all while no audit has been done.
Gordon Duff, Senior Editor of Veterans Today Newspaper, says the ‘phony war on terror over the last 10+ years has been an opportunity for defense entities to buy Congress’.
The USA’s GNP is Approximately $20 Trillion
The US Government Entire Budget is $4+ Trillion and the Entire Defense Budget is $700 Billion so the concept that the US Army could lose $8.5 Trillion is on it’s face utterly Ludicrous
wtf does Obama and Iran’s 400 million have to do with 8.5 trillion dollars stolen from the taxpayers by the Bush and Cheney criminal cartel? you Obama haters sound like an old broken record
I wonder how much gets spent on the last few weeks of the Fiscal Year when the government is in a use it or lose it status? I always wanted to see that use it or lose it rule go away. In also always wanted to see the FY return to June 30 versus Sep 30. Let’s face it, the government is trying to spend oodles of cash in September while half the finance and contracting personnel are on vacations.
The Obama Administration at work. Destroying America !!!!!!!!
jeez, what happened to the 6.5 trillion, did it go up?
look in Obamas and Hilliarys bank account
well ya should start looking in Swiss bank accounts..or Irans bank account.
Went to the foundation
The problem here is that they are no checks on the DOD. Many Dark Projects exist that will not know about for 20 years. Some of these are so Top Secret the Pres don’t know about them. That is good because Obama would squeal. Take for example the Skunk Works.
Look in the Democrats pockets.
