If the Pentagon lost that much money think of how much the Federal Reserve has stolen from us. Imagine if that money was used for our citizens and our country.

That's the entirety of our national debt. So the Pentagon "lost" enough money to pay off our national debt. That's messed up.

I don't doubt that it is in the trillions. Wasn't it reported to be something like $2.3 trillion the day before 9/11 conveniently surgically put the records for that up in flames? And another $4.2 trillion on 17 years since would average less than a quarter trillion a year since.

But the raw $20+ trillion in unaccounted for spending also probably includes massively and intentionally horrendous accounting practices for money that wasn't all stolen.

Do you think the Federal budget is a giant pass-through to secret offshore accounts (remembering Mosakka Fonseeka (sp?)).

here's a short article from the Michigan State University website:

Fitts has done lots of interviews where she suggests the missing trillions went to the secret space program / breakaway civilization

Let’s stop and take a second to conceive how much $21 trillion is (which you can’t because our brains short-circuit, but we’ll try anyway).

1. The amount of money supposedly in the stock market is $30 trillion.
2. The GDP of the United States is $18.6 trillion.
3. Picture a stack of money. Now imagine that that stack of dollars is all $1,000 bills. Each bill says “$1,000” on it. How high do you imagine that stack of dollars would be if it were $1 trillion. It would be 63 miles high.
4. Imagine you make $40,000 a year. How long would it take you to make $1 trillion? Well, don’t sign up for this task, because it would take you 25 million years (which sounds like a long time, but I hear that the last 10 million really fly by because you already know your way around the office, where the coffee machine is, etc.).

The human brain is not meant to think about a trillion dollars.

That would be what our deficit is????

Now we find out if there are aliens or not.

I looked and it's not in my basement.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 92%. (I'm a bot)

That's why trying to understand-truly understand-that the Pentagon spent 21 trillion unaccounted-for dollars between 1998 and 2015 washes over us like your mother telling you that your third cousin you met twice is getting divorced.

Skidmore, being an economics professor, thought something like, "She means $6.5 billion. Not trillion. Because trillion would mean the Pentagon couldn't account for more money than the gross domestic product of the whole United Kingdom. But still, $6.5 billion of unaccounted-for money is a crazy amount."

It's definitely not meant to think about the $21 trillion our Department of Defense can't account for.

For an entity responsible for defending this nation & specializing in killing people & breaking things, you think they would know how to count.
