Isn’t the whole point of a bureaucracy to keep this stuff from happening? I never thought I was very good at math, but perhaps I could have had a career as a government accountant. It’s just play money anyway. I feel like government officials and heads of state must have some real currency that they don’t tell us about. We’re all chumps for trading goods and services for paper dollars, while they know that only glass beads or cinnamon or something has true value. Why else would they offer a trillion bucks for Baltic Avenue?
The U.S. State Department is unable to account for most of $1.2 billion in funding that it gave to DynCorp International to train Iraqi police, a government report said Tuesday.
“The bottom line is that State can’t account for where it went,” said Glenn D. Furbish.
Of course it can’t. This reminds me why I like to take my car when Darren and I go to appointments together. Loose change always falls from his right pocket into the space between the passenger seat and the car door. On Saturday Big Wis and I were excited to find three quarters there before we went to the park.
