$2+TRILLION available at Dept of Defense for bailout

[Shanti Mama]

In the early 2000s, and probably more so now, there was over $2,000,000,000,000 of unaccounted for spending at the Pentagon every year. I was watching a video about the day before 9/11 and this was discussed. Don't have time to find the vid on YouTube right now but will look for the link after work (I'm in Asia so it will be America's morning).

Not only are there unaccounted for expenses but there are, of course, exhorbitant prices that are paid on contract, as well. Let's just take the measly $2 billion from the DOD. Make them figure out how to balance there books.

1. You read my mind. That's where some billions can be scalped.

The Pentagon needs to stop being the world police anyway.

2. Sounds like a plan to me

3. I believe Rummy said there was 2.3 trillion missing from the Pentagon, in a news conf on

(wait for it) 9-10-2001. I forget what happened the next day that distracted us from this story... there's a youtube video of the cbs story with rummy's presser http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oj1rT4bszWg

The controller at the pentagon at that time was Rabbi Zakheim, with dual israeli/us citizenship. I think at least $3 trillion disappeared during his tenure there.

4. The Bail House must have invested that money in secret operations

5. Yes, that's the one.

I forget why everyone forgot about it, too. :sarcasm:
I'm serious about this. We don't need anymore money for the government to bail out anyone. "We the people" can lend them the first few billion while they find the pork at the Pentagon.
