What no one mentions, is that's 2.3 trillion since 1945.
It's not 2.3 trillion since 2001.
The entire Defense budget since 2001 is only 2.5 trillion.
And you notice that story was written in 2002, so the money must have went missing before then.
And the article didn't say the money was missing, only that they couldn't track it with the paper work they had on hand.
But considering the entire defense budget from 1962 till 2002 added together was around 6.5 trillion dollars, it would be next to impossible for 2.3 trillion to disappear, that would be 35% of the Defense budget for the last 40 years.
.
I posted a link from the Congressional Budget office that list the Defense budget every year since 1962.

I have seen and researched this report. It is very interesting how 2.3 trillion dollars could be missing. I belive there should be an investigation into this because it may have valuable information concerning the attacks of 9/11 because the momumental admission was made on Sept 10, 2001 by Rumsfeld. Bad news such as this is almost always released on fridays, it is quite intersting why it was released on a monday.

This will always be a problem in a country where campaign funds are the greatest determinant of electoral success and there follows a four year period of pay back to those who have bought a government.

I'd say start looking in Cheney's and Bush's Swiss or Cayman Bank Accounts...I'm pretty sure you'll find some of it there.

Gee and I was upset when I lost my watch ....
Certainly someone should be held accountable ..Everyone has to be accountable for something .. but if you have power to Vito then who's gonna enforce it ?

Trillions of dollars go for costly welfare programs, why not send it to a good cause for once?
The crime is people can not work and be paid with MY tax dollars.

I doubt it-- I probably went into admin costs, equipment, was lost, in somebody's pocket, contractors, etc.
