Reply #2: How about the $2.3 trillion "unaccounted for" at the Pentagon? [View All]

[leveymg]

Or, the $11.5 trillion in untaxed offshore accounts?

Bet you haven't even heard about those in the MSM.:bounce:

Rumsfeld confirmed on September 10, 2001 that some $2.3 trillion in DoD funds could not be accounted for. A long-time defense analyst comments to CBS, “ numbers are pie in the sky. The books are cooked routinely year after year.” Coverage of this rather shocking story is nearly nonexistent given the events of the next day. www.cooperativeresearch.org / item.jsp?item=a630vigilantguardian&timeline=complete_911_timeline

The bigger picture is the $11.5 trillion in assets that are stashed away, untaxed and unaccounted for, by the wealthy in offshore tax shelters. www.csmonitor.com/2005/0425/p17s01-cogn.html

These are the virtually unregulated funds that fuel the global nexis of illicite trade in drugs, arms and terrorism. Even after 9/11. BushCo has done virtually nothing to reign in the purveyors in secret finance, and has considerably expanded the scope of black budgets.

No wonder there isn't enough public money to pay teachers a living wage.
