That seems like an awful lot of money missing. I'm sure that its...well...somewhere?

How did the executive office lose $234,000,000? What do they need $234,000,000 for?


The United States Agency for International Development seems to have lost $8,796,371,768. Does anyone even know what the United States Agency for International Development does?

Just a little scary....

Money was not lost - just unaccounted for/misused for original intent and no one will fess up to where it went.

See below for an example

USAID hands out money for feel good projects in poor countries that have no bootstraps.

$1 for oversight, $8 for graft, $1 project materials

Yep, corruption at it's finest.

Not just corruption, but movement to black budgets for projects and operations.
