Two Times 2.2 Trillion Dollars Unaccounted For

The day before the attacks in New York and Washington Donald Rumsfeld announced that the pentagon could not account for about 2.3 trillion dollars. That seemed to be forgotten when the “War on Terror began”.

That is over seven thousand dollars for every man woman and child in the Unites States and several times the annual budget for our military. And we don’t know what has been done with it.

Bernake refusal



This month (Feb 2010) Ben Bernake refused to make the budget for the federal reserve known, even to congress. And congress still voted to renew his contract. That is another $2.2 trillion dollars unaccounted for. Who but our government could ever get away with that kind of gross looseness? And from both sides of the isle!

Is your congressman aware of this? Do you care enough to ask him? Do you care enough to act?
