I'd like to point out that the military budget for 2015 was $600 Billion... https://www.mintpressnews.com/audit-pentagon-cannot-account-6-5-trillion-dollars-taxpayer-money/219246/“Army and Defense Finance and Accounting Service Indianapolis personnel did not adequately support $2.8 trillion in third quarter adjustments and $6.5 trillion in year-end adjustments made to Army General Fund data during FY 2015 financial statement compilation,” wrote Lorin T. Venable, the assistant inspector general for financial management and reporting. “We conducted this audit in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards.” The Army spent well over ten times their budget, and had no receipts for anything... As far as I know, we aren't officially at war with anyone... are we? WTF is going on? |

Feel free to google something like, "Pentagon Audit" It has been reported by every news agency on the planet... I have no reason to believe it is not true This is what happens when you give people control of Trillions of dollars and don't audit them for 100 years The Federal Reserve is probably worse... they have never been audited either |

If they left $6 Trillion worth of tanks and planes behind in Iraq... they will want new ones, right? Either way, that's bullshit... they did not leave $6Trillion worth of equipment behind... If you actually read the news articles you would see their accounting is often off by a decimal place... instead of putting 10, they put 100, etc... If intent can be shown, that's fraud I was in the military, I know exactly how it works... people do that all the time... if you need 20 of something, you have to ask for 50 or 100... if you ask for 20, you will only get 5 Am I assuming too much that Adjustments allow for more spending? It's like claiming a loss on your taxes... If they claim $6.5Trillion in losses, how much more do they get to spend? The whole $6.5T? |

If the Americans want to counter Russia militarily, then on average they need to spend around 100 times of what the Russians are spending on their defence budget. I will give you one simple example. Ever heard of the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II? That single program is going to cost the Americans some $1.508 trillion (official figures, and I suspect that the real amount might be much higher). And at the same time, the Russians have developed the technologically superior Sukhoi PAK FA, at the cost of around $10 billion. |

Adjustments to book value of assets IS NOT "SPENDING." You do not appear to understand accounting. |

The F35 is a poorly conceived project, has poor performance and cost overruns. You can't extend that problem across the board. |

Do you have any clue or are you just bullshitting? How do you spend $600Bil, and claim 10 times that in losses? If they did this every year, what would their net worth be? When has the gov ever spent $6.5Trillion on the military? Do you know how much the gov spends on military activities? Do you know how many black ops programs aren't even listed and accounted for? Where do you think they get the money for these unlisted black ops programs? (hint, this is how) |

From the guy that said Russia will sink US ships (carrier, destroyer class) with ICBM's . We definitely have to trust his knowledge.  Btw. It is not only the military that has a huge black budget you should look at the intelligence agencies. |

Information and black ops can be highly profitable... IIRC, nearly every government agency from the FBI, CIA, military, and even banks have been tied to drug trafficking and laundering the money |

Way to dodge every question... pro troll I know all about GAAP, what makes you think you are smarter than me? What makes you think GAAP has anything to do with claiming losses of $6.5T? You read some new lingo and think you are Dunning-Kruger? Give it up you stupid fucking troll  |

What you don't get is that their is a symbiotic relationship between the financial world and the us army. Defense (the best one being offensive preemptive 0 loss total warfare) is the only task clearly expressed in the us constitution. The only line between the free world, where you can express what ever delirium you have vs the censored world. This is the highest commitment to the United States of America. To ensure it s Liberty against all known and unknown ennemies where ever they are. To be certain that what ever they do nothing will be left of them. The enemy of America foreign and domestic will surrender totally and unconditionally or die, from the first to the last of them.all of this need financing! And as you may know freedom of speech is at the core of financial market... There can't be a sustainable market anywhere without the USA. You should buy this because... You should sell this because... What the fuck i don't care if a cccp official tell you to buy that shit... |
