Here is One Way to Shut the R's up on the Stimuls

[TNOE]

Tell them to get a team of Auditor's to examine and find out where the $2.3 TRILLION (That's a T) went missing at the Pentagon in 2000 (and more after that), which Donald Rumsfeld reported on September 10, 2001. I don't remember any of them screaming then.

A few missing Trillion could go a long way right now.

September 10, 2001: Rumsfeld Announces Defense Department Cannot Track $2.3 Trillion in Transactions In a speech to the Department of Defense, Defense Secretary Rumsfeld announces that the Department of Defense “cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions.” CBS later calculates that 25 percent of the yearly defense budget is unaccounted for, and quotes a long-time defense budget analyst: “ numbers are pie in the sky. The books are cooked routinely year after year.” Coverage of this rather shocking story is nearly nonexistent given the events of the next day. In April 2002 it will be revealed that $1.1 trillion of the missing money comes from the 2000 fiscal year. Auditors won’t even quantify how much money is missing from fiscal year 2001, causing “some fear it’s worse” than 2000. The Department of the Army will state that it won’t publish a stand-alone financial statement for 2001 because of “the loss of financial-management personnel sustained during the Sept. 11 terrorist attack.” This $1.1 trillion plus unknown additional amounts continues to remain unaccounted for, and auditors say it may take eight years of reorganization before a proper accounting can be done.

1. And don't forget that the Pentagon attack on 9/11 took out the accounting department

Which was very convenient for someone.

2. But that money was spent in God's Own Glorious War On Terror.

3. You can't just "lose" a couple of Trillion

We need to find out where that money went.

6. You can with the right kind of smoke and mirrors.

Just ask rummy.
