Kelly O'Meara, an investigative reporter, from Insight Magazine said in
the August 2001 issue that the Department of Defense had either lost or
had stolen $1.1 Trillion for fiscal year 2000.

CBS News reported on January 29, 2002 that the Pentagon had lost or had
stolen 25% of its entire budget, more than $2.3 Trillion, an amount
equal to $8000 for every man, woman and child in the United States.

Don't forgrt about the millions of dollars stolen from the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The theft was so bad that the had to shut the BIA web site down. That is being investigated by Congress.

Government can never be trusted to spend tax money efficiently.

Stolen from the Department of Defense 1999 $1100 Billion
Thats more than the whole defense budget :rolleyes:

On the indian affairs - the indians do pretty well when it comes to cash. Well some do, living very nicely off casino profits, when the majority of the tribe lives in poverty.
