Based Politics: While millions of hardworking Americans must take pains to keep track of hundreds of receipts each year for their tax filings, the Department of Interior lost track of documentation for $155,575 worth of purchases last year.
When government employees make expenditures with tax dollars, they are required to keep track of receipts. But according to a DOI Inspector General Report, that didn’t happen for 74 of 149 transactions that the inspector general reviewed. That’s about half of all transactions totaling $155,575. Without the proper documentation, there’s no way to know if this money went to legitimate purchases, or if it was spent on wasteful or self-serving pet projects.
The transactions that were reviewed were 149 high-risk pandemic-related card transactions, some of which were funded through the CARES Act. more
Hookers and blow.

So, essential services?
“…there’s no way to know if this money went to legitimate purchases, or if it was spent on wasteful or self-serving pet projects.”
…yes there is.
Is is Government spending?
Then it IS for wasteful and self-serving pet projects.
QED.
Huh!
Ain’t that something?
What would happen to some corporate guy who “lost” receipts amounting to $155,575.00?

I expect no less from any governmental agency, but $155k is peanuts relatively speaking. I’d much rather delve into Congress members offshore bank statements.
There is only one reason a government agency would “lose” those records. However, there is a bank involved, and they should be able to produce them, right? Right.
That is pocket change compared to the Pentagon and HUD whose combined amount of lost money equals more than 20 billion because of this little accounting trick called Undefined Ledger Adjustments. And that 20 billion was in one year alone. They do this every day of every year.
The money was spent buying backup services for Hillary’s email.
My bad, the number is not 20 billion, it’s 21.5 trillion between the pentagon and HUD over a period of 17 years, 1998-2915.

The corruption is so complete.
That’s 1.267 trillion per year up in smoke.
Maybe the dog ate it.
