“How’s that,” Dad asked. “You can’t figure out what you did with the $50,000 I loaned you in October?”
“Well. I can account for about $19,000 of it. I’m just not sure what happened to the other $30,000. And I’m out of money…
“Dad, could you see your way to loaning me another $50k. I promise to track where the money goes…”
What would you do if your son or daughter came to you with such a request?
That’s EGG ZACKLY what the Pentagon is doing today as it cannot account for 61% of it $4 trillion of assets. Our elected leaders give the Pentagon $800 Billion a year without so much as batting an eye. After all, we have to do this as this is the military – it protects us.
I’d like to see if there’s any Cabinet post in the government which has a better handle on their balance sheet. I would wager there isn’t.
So the Pentagon can’t put their fingers on 61% of the stuff they own and the American taxpayer is paying interest on 43% (or more) of the dollars spent to acquire this stuff. And they have the gall, like the child mentioned at the beginning of this rant to ask for more money.
Wouldn’t it be appropriate for WE THE PEOPLE to hold our public servants accountable for such waste and refuse to give them a dime until they can figure out where the stuff and the money went.
Or are WE THE PEOPLE going to continue to allow these unethical children to kill off the country due to their inability to live within their means and be responsible for the things they own/ purchased.
Maybe it’s time WE THE PEOPLE learn how to function without sending trillions to idiots who abscond with our money. That’s why I wrote Prospering in a Socialist Society, so you could embrace the strategies I wrote down to thrive, even while living in tyranny. My book is available HERE
