Trillions of dollars are missing from the US government. What's
going on? Where is the money? How could this happen? Where are the checks and balances?
How much more has gone missing? What would happen if a corporation failed to pass
an audit like this? Or a taxpayer? Who is responsible for this? Would your banks continue
to handle your bank account if you behaved like this? Would your investors continue
to buy your securities if you behaved like this? Learn more in the articles below. |

Remarks as Delivered by Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld, The Pentagon, Monday,
September 10, 2001
Paragraph #20:
"The technology revolution has transformed organizations across the private sector,
but not ours, not fully, not yet. We are, as they say, tangled in our anchor chain.
Our financial systems are decades old. According to some estimates, we cannot
track $2.3 trillion in transactions. We cannot share information from floor
to floor in this building because it's stored on dozens of technological systems that
are inaccessible or incompatible."
