Actually, the government can't account for as much as $80T.


Think about it. This is just what the Army has mishandled. They fudged the books (ILLEGAL) with more than 2.8T in bogus adjustments for JUST ONE QUARTER!

The government is fleecing us.

One theory put out about this is that the military industrial complex has been siphoning off money so they can "do their thing" irregardless of what happens with the budget process and pending economic upheaval. Kind of makes sense.
