Let that sink in. Not 1 Billion. 830 Billion. People get fired for not accounting for $20 at the cash register.
Quote of the century.
Well said
Nobody says nothing nobody gets hurt
because you're a civilian and they are the government
880,000 american citizens could've been given a million dollars. But they lost it. Really let that sink in.
I can’t believe we treat 830billion like it’s chump change but an armed IRS agent can throw me in jail if I’m short $100.
And apparently IRS staff owe 50 million in taxes.
@ I know! Absolutely atrocious!
I don't recognize the authority of the IRS.
Or take your property etc🤬🤬🤬
Wouldn't surprise me @@lewisner
The democrats must be held accountable for their crimes of Treason.
They never tried to overthrow the results of an election or hold up certifying ballots, needle brain.
It wasn’t democrats who ransacked the capitol during a joint session of congress.
True but this goes well beyond party lines. Both have bankrupted this country in coordination with the Pentagon.
@@timemachineeddie1146 What about Trump's 86 and counting felony charges?
Absolutely
"unable to account for nearly $830B budget"
Check their personal bank accounts.
Especially the offshore ones.
That ABSOLUTELY needs to be part of the requirements for working in government- periodic examination of your bank account.
Exactly they're all living in mansions in Virginia and DC while voting Democrat. The IRS needs to audit everyone in the Pentagon
if i failed an audit, can i identify as the pentagon?
Can you prove attendance to military strip shows? Are your pronouns "Sir", "Ma'am", "FU Private"? Do you have 5 walls on your home/office? Do you have airliner debris around your home/office?
@@minnesnowtan9970 are those the only requirements? I'll get to work immediately
Only under a Dem admin, so you got until inauguration I guess! lol.
😂😂
@@jarredmattingly5369 didn’t it say it failed seven audits in a row? How many of those were under Trump? 🤔
And yet, the IRS has the unmitigated gall to audit taxpayers and charge interest against honest mistakes made in good faith.
We voted for Trump to make these decisions. Put them through
*Suddenly there is nothing wrong with the economy and no election fraud. What's up MAGA?*
This is what DOGE is for. Let's set an undeniable precedent.
You mean what it's for until people cash out.
No, that’s not what anybody meant.
There is not a reality where a republican congress agrees to cut military spending
@jaer678 Bet, it's not about cutting military spending anyway. But if all government spending is scrutinized, we may be able to affordably up the budget, and the pentagon may not fail the next audit.
Clean audit in 2028!?!?!? They need to have a clean audit EVERY YEAR!
Audit now
Clean it when trump gets in office
impossible, dosn't matter who you put in office, there are certain black budget funds that you can't account for on the books, since it's a security risk for certain operations/agents.
YES! Starting in 2025!
I can understand some money not being accounted for in the Pentagon. They do have black projects that need to stay hidden. These black projects are essential to the security of our country.
Now the sum of $830 billion is nuts. It costs between $5 to $13 billion to build an American Aircraft Carrier. Those things are small floating cities. Also, you can’t hide one of those. Doing an internet search a weather satellite costs about $290 million to build and launch. So, $400 million is a reasonable guess for a spy satellite.
That $830 billion is more than the GDP of Switzerland, Sweden,Norway, and many other countries. There are only 19 countries that list a GDP higher than $830 billion.
Sounds like the laundry room is only thing working at the Pentagon... 🤔🙄🤤😳
That is correct!!
*$830 Billion... Poof... Like a Fart in the Wind.*
Feeling like you have been fleeced yet?
The fart in the wind is evidence that we may have been crapped upon.
RISE, RESIST, REVOLUTION
Jail time for government people ,
Especially Trump
@@gen_z_hippichikk you lost .. go play with your bong hippichikk and cry some more
@@gen_z_hippichikkwhy you mad Trump is bring this crap out to light? The most Trump did was not pay taxes.
The Goverment took billions from the citizens taxes.
I hope Trump puts them in jail.
@@gen_z_hippichikk especially you, promoting insurrection and lies.
You first. Trump is not going to jail. We don’t put people in jail for three misdemeanor bookkeeping errors taken to trial six years after the statute had run, even if you do magically call them 90 felonies. Supreme Court of the United States doesn’t call them convictions because the statute had run six years before you ever heard of it.
Probably should take it out of the bank accounts of the people in charge
Yes because that's where the money went!
Unfortunately they will make us pay for it!
And not let them hide assets, such as in foreign bank accounts and/or shell companies. We've allowed a system designed to help the worst people screw the rest of us.
Don't pay taxes@@SC-fj2zp
100% support for Elon and Vivek!!!!
Who will go to jail for this?
No one as usual.
tax payers who dont pay their taxes to fund this.
Nobody …..it’s called politics
They have a stay out of jail card, they will find a poor private to pin it on
TBD. Elon and Vivek will likely have recommendations.
it should not take another 4 years to complete an audit
This alone would be justification to fire most of upper management. Not accounting for taxpayer funds is a failure in basic responsibilities.
Absolutely!
They are stewards and have a duty to account for every dollar.
AUDIT ALL PERSONAL BANK ACCOUNT..THIEVES
It is not so simple. The F-117 was not publicly known for years after it was in service. The practice seems to have been to pay $5,000 for a wrench and have the money go to a secret project. The military needs secrecy.
And the military also needs accountability, so secret projects need o be accounted for by code name AND whether their production stage is preliminary, final, or somewhere in between. There also needs to be a start date so if something has been in preliminary for 4 years then it needs an explanation or gets defunded. Elon and Vivek will need clearances.
And their relatives in Biden form!
Unacceptable!
No surprise they can't account for 830 billion dollars. On 9/11, there was 2 trillion dollars missing. Isn't it odd that a missile hit the accounting dept at the pentagon that day?
Oy
The Big Guy gets his 10 percent no matter what
Missle never hit the pentagon it was a plane. Get your facts right
absolutely spot on texasrose 👍
@@dustinash7867it was a missle stop lying to your self
Hold them accountable like they hold us accountable. The government don’t break their backs like hard working people paying all kinds of taxes.
Had this been a business that failed this type of audit, everyone would be in jail. This absolutely insane!!
WE need it NOW, NOT IN 2028!
How do you lose this much money and there aren't any consequences? Not just once, but numerous times. WTH?
Welcome to the military-industrial complex.
They failed an aduit again. What a surprise.......
They have failed 7 audits.
It was said that $1 trillion or more disappeared when we were in Iraq.
it’s how certain people got their mansions and walls.
There are leaked photos still floating around the internet of c- 130's filled with crates of $ heading to the middle east during the Obama administration.. Also podcasts with us service members and private contractors that say a lot of the $ kept at Bagrahm ( to pay off village elders, $ for info etc ) was left there during the withdraw from Afghanistan... 100's of millions if not more
3 trillion!
Before Iraq. A plane apparently crashed into their one accounting office and poof, trillions unaccounted for and not one witness or video evidence of a plane crash.
I added a comment about how Obama loaded c-130's with crates of $ and sent them to the middle east for the "war effort" billions .... There are leaked photos and podcasts of of service men stating that for fact as well as the hundreds of millions possibly billions left at bahgram during the withdraw from Afghanistan... let's see if the u tube overloads delete this one to
But when we citizens fail a Tax Audit it’s possible jail time….
This insanity must STOP!!!! DOGE!!!!!!!! We need you!
God Bless President Donald J Trump
They have been skimming billions from taxpayers for decades. They charge us if we are 2 dollars off ,but they ca not account for hundreds of billions of dollars and its time they are held to account. They work for us in this country and its time they are reminded of this.
So Right!
Thank god for January, we need accountability. 850 billion probably went to Ukraine or the Kamala campaign
More likely their to precious Illegals.
Nope it goes to clandestine operations.
@gen_z_hippichikk just a reminder Trump won.
eventually your working this out peek 💯‼️👍
And Isreal
Shut it down, like any failing corporation. The problem is no competition. We need a new Pentagon.
Check their accounts
Unreal. I have no faith in any of them.
Especially Trump.

- withdrew from Afghanistan
- is kicking Vladimir’s pants off
- increased oil production by 20%
- won big profits from oil reserve trading
- passed infrastructure bill
- triggered cultists en masse
- seek help for your BDS

"Use it or lose it" is how all government waste starts. It's why my town is currently digging up roads they only just fixed... to use up budget before year end instead of reducing taxes.
It should be... "lose it unless it's absolutely essential". Let's face it... we don't even know what most federal employees do all day....
That will likely be an early change. I would.
As a retired executive petty officer and officer in charge of several units, I have seen numerous others relieved of command for much less. This is absolutely disgusting and change must occur quickly.
This is absolutely an escalation
Sounds more like it’s that 10% For The Big Guy strikes again.
🎯🎯🎯! But then again… I’ve Taught these 🥷🏾🤥🤑🏛️ all they know… So quoted Beelzebub 🔥 😂😂 .
Congress holds those purse strings. Ask them why.
They are in on it
@@europa Between the demdems and rinos, they may be SITTING on it.
@@minnesnowtan9970 You have to do an audit on each and every one of them and look at what they own to see if each one's assets are more than what they earn. Those are the tell, tell signs of theft!
We need to call Thune's office....we want Trumps picks in!
And we the people get thrown in prison for not paying a few dollars in taxes
They destroyed several buildings last time they were asked where their money went.
We all know where the money goes, but all we'll get is the "It's classified" bs.
It is way past time to hold these agencies accountable for their fiscal irresponsibilities!
2028? 2028! They expect to give accountability by 2028?? Why isn’t this illegal? Why can’t they DO something about this? Please Lord help our new president to protect us from this horrible bureaucracy?
Funny thing is if this was a civilian and not a military official they would be in jail in a heart beat!!!!!!
TIME TO CLEAN HOUSE!
While the Feds won't get off my back for eleven thousand in student loans. Time to clean house.
Justice for legal American citizens. 🙏
What a lot of people DON'T know is that in the military, you are given a very generous budget. Then, about September you have to spend every dime in a mad buying spree because if you don't, your budget will get cut next year. The command I was at would buy just about anything to get that money spent. The waste would leave you staggering if you saw it.
But then thar would be money that's accounted for because it was spent. Pretty obvious they are stealing or directing those funds elsewhere for nefarious/illegal activities.
Otherwise they wouldn't be missing so much every time.
So now what they get away with this but if this was any citizen someone would be in jail
they waste so much money they need to start giving the american people there money back simple as that.
This is just so mind blowing to me. I’ve sat here and re typed my comment several times to try to convey how messed up this is but I can’t find the right words. This is just downright disgusting how corrupt our country is. 830 billion dollars can’t be accounted for? And who’s going to be accountable for that? The taxpayers?
I get you! Words fail!
It's a bit disingenuous for people to claim that the $830bn can't be accounted for. The vast majority of spending is accounted for. The latest figures show the vast majority $776bn spent by the DoD on military activities with a further $43bn on defense related activities carried out by other agencies such as the Dept. of Energy and the FBI. Operations and maintenance was the largest category accounting for some $318bn, Personnel, (pay and retirement benefits), $184bn $122bn on research and development of weapons and equipment, $10bn on construction and maintenance of management of military facilities and $1bn on family housing. I assume the issue is the accounting doesn't meet the forensic levels demanded by an Audit.
So Happy for All Republicans
Unfortunately , there are some bad actors in the Republican party and don't forget the rinos!
Thief is a crime, every employee needs brought in front of a prosecutor to explain where the money went. Private bank accounts needs examined throughly.
These people need to be in jail
Matt Gaetz pushed hard on Single Subject Spending (no omnibus), I hope someone, hopefully the speaker, will take up championing that cause.
They can not account for it, because it has been laundered.
How many billions in weapons were given to the Taliban? Some people need to be held accountable.
I don’t want disrupters! I want cleaners and fixers! No choas!
These people in Washington took an oath to serve the Constitution and the people and they have spoken and they should respect this decisive victory and what the people want.
Ask Kamala… if she were anywhere close to the Pentagon when the money disappeared 😁
Neo cons and communists all feed at the same trough for 100 years
A: I grew up in a middle class neighborhood.
Yes!! Tough decisions and accountability going forward‼️🙏🏻🇺🇸
Tax dollars are too easily spent friviously with no accountability. They didn't work hard to earn it so to them it's free money. Why not just blow it. It didn't cost them anything.
Maybe department heads need to be held personally responsible for a percentage of unaccounted for funds. If they mismanage, especially criminally, they could lose personally.
All the money they will be saved should go toward Americans Healthcare since our own institutions are responsible for making us sick in the 1st place !!
Yes!
proof of taxation without representation
to say the least
We need to hold a special election to put Trump in office now!
Undo the coup, the 2020 one. Imprison Pelosi, Wray, Garland and so many more.
*Suddenly there is nothing wrong with the economy and no election fraud. What's up MAGA?*
I agree is that actually possible thoe? Like is there some type of urgency law we can use?
@@peekosthename So you don't want the election certified and a chaotic transfer of power, why is that?
@deebee2893 honestly I think it would be a first in world history. But it's still worth attempting
Does anyone else remember when Rumsfeld announce that the pentagon couldn't account for 2.7 trillion, with a T, the day before 9-11 ???????????
Pete Henseth should hire the 2 IRS whistle blowers to audit the budget once and for all.
Move the government to commercial accounting systems/practices. The government accounting system doesn't work.
Alien drones are expensive.
Nancy keep up the good work and stand for our rites and help clean up unneeded spending. God bless Trump his team and their families and all who read this.
Its the 700 dollar toilet seat all over again
Sounds like theft! Needs to be accountability.
Can ANYONE recall ONE TIME when Biden/Harris called for diplomacy in the Russia/Ukraine war?
I retired from the Navy in the late 90’s. At the organizational level we had to account for every penny.
treason
Don't let them stop Trump! Recess appointees!!
Spent $66B on illegal aliens, lost $830B+ @Pentagon, and spent $3B on homeless veterans. I'm certain it was all wisely spent😢
Who else loathes Obama, Kamala Harris, Walz, Biden, Jack Smith, Mayorkas, Schumer, Newsom, Schiff, Hochul, Willis, Fauci, Pelosi, Cheney, Hillary, AOC, Woke Hollywood, CNN, ABC, CBS, MSDNC, Facebook, google and RUclips censorship?
America The American People Need And Deserve Justice
Somewhere, someone knew this day was going to come.
You can only kick the can so far down the road. Eventually, the road ends.
Almost 1Trillion $ unaccounted for. I wonder if inflation is factored in lol. Never past an audit is crazy.
Maybe they need to start hiring CPA's instead of Crooked lawyers!
2028?! How about we want a clean audit now.
They gave us a blank piece of paper. So clean, even unredacted.
Completed before Thanksgiving 2024.
If regular Americans did this we would get life in prison. Just think about this for a second …
Politics and crime, they're the same thing. 😊😊😊
This is What HAPPENS WHEN YOU THINK THAT YOUR SPORTS TEAM IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR COUNTRY!!!
Corruption is rampant in our government.
My favorite news caster lady this baby is sharp as razor. May God Bless Her and keep her on the good side.
I call for pay holds of all government until funds are accounted for!
We do want disruptors. I think most people understand that it could be a bumpy ride, but will ultimately be good for the country over the long term when the fat is trimmed, money is saved and things are done differently going forward. What we don't really understand is how the difficulty of change will look and feel to us. Can you discuss that as changes are made or anticipated?
Let them be approved and in office. AND:
This is a war, and you do not call your targets or discuss methods when the enemy can hear.
We have 87,000 new IRS recruits ready to barrel down on $200 mishaps.pathetic
Get the President the line item veto. All future Presidents would be able to get the spending under control
It's time this SH~T ENDS NOW!!
This has been going on for a LONG time! I remember back in the ‘90s (I think) where the National Forest Service “lost” $50 million worth of vehicles and planes. No one had ANY IDEA where they went. They just shrugged their collective shoulders and said, “My bad!” And it was never mentioned again. There is no accountability in government programs.
"Um.... we lost 900 billion dollars, but... hey.... look over there". Orange man bad".
Where do you think the money comes from for their climate modification chemtrails program???
So where's the list of the people going to jail.?!?!?!
What is the IRS waiting for ?
There cut
Disbanding, theirs.
Maybe they should start looking in people's pockets before they leave work everyday! It's as if the pentagon is a hard count room without security!
