[paragraph_left][block] Left Side Content [/block][block] Right Side Content [/block][/paragraph_left]The State Dept. states that it doesn’t know what happened to $6 billion over the past 6 years – claiming there just wasn’t enough oversight.
So they just forgot to make sure that someone was watching billions of dollars and now there’s no way to trace what happened.
Right!
he State Department has no idea what happened to $6 billion used to pay its contractors.
In a special “management alert” made public Thursday, the State Department’s Inspector General Steve Linick warned “significant financial risk and a lack of internal control at the department has led to billions of unaccounted dollars over the last six years.
The alert was just the latest example of the federal government’s continued struggle with oversight over its outside contractors.

The lack of oversight “exposes the department to significant financial risk,” the auditor said. “It creates conditions conducive to fraud, as corrupt individuals may attempt to conceal evidence of illicit behavior by omitting key documents from the contract file. It impairs the ability of the Department to take effective and timely action to protect its interests, and, in tum, those of taxpayers.”
In the memo, the IG detailed “repeated examples of poor contract file administration.” For instance, a recent investigation of the closeout process for contracts supporting the mission in Iraq, showed that auditors couldn’t find 33 of the 115 contract files totaling about $2.1 billion. Of the remaining 82 files, auditors said 48 contained insufficient documents required by federal law.
In another instance, the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement issued a $1 billion contract in Afghanistan that was deemed “incomplete.”

The auditor recommended that the State Department establish a centralized system to track, maintain and retain contract files.
The department responded and said it concurred with the recommendations to address the “vulnerability” in its contracting process.
Before Linick took office last fall, the State Department had been without an inspector general position for five years—the longest IG vacancy in the government’s history, as noted in The Washington Post.
Big Government in Action. Get elected as a poor man and by the time you leave office your family will be set for the next 3 to 4 generations… beside you being a Multimillionaire. What happened to serving for the good of the country …for the Love of your country….Ride Free

It probably went to the Endowment for Democracy to support violence and Terrorism all over the world.
No Incumbents. They gave us the horribly stupid War on Terror, the monster Obamacare which they gave to the corrupt IRS, they gave money and weapons to the Drug Cartels, Egypt, and Iran, they wanted to bomb Syria after illegally funding the Terrorists in the Civil War in Syria, they gave us the NDAA, they gave us the Monsanto Protection Bill, they allow groups like the Endowment for Democracy to fund the violence in the Ukraine, they listen to the lies of NATO, the CIA, the NSA, and Obama to what is going on in Crimea and the Ukraine, they have not kept their Oath of Office to protect our Constitution and with it our Human Rights and our Freedoms, they believed the lies of Eric Holder, Susan Rice, Hillary Clinton, and Obama, they have not fired Obama. We should not have military bases in the China Sea, Africa, Asia, Africa, and Europe, we can not afford them or the trillions of Tax Dollars we are spending to get Media Attention and cause death and destruction across Africa and the Middle East with our stupid War on Terror. We are the bad guys in Syria, the Middle East, Africa, and in the Ukraine. Is there any violence before 1993 anywhere in the world the CIA was not involved in ? Since 1993 the CIA and NSA have had groups like the National Endowment for Democracy to do so much of their work. Now the CIA can devote most of it’s time to making War across Africa and the Middle East, trying to start World War III and smuggling drugs, which is their biggest job. Vote all of our current Senators and Representatives out, they have not fired Obama, Biden, Kerry, and Holder. No Incumbents.
No Incumbents. They gave us the War on Terror and they have not fired Obama and Biden and they have not repealed Obamacare. Vote them out.
Check POTUS’s pockets.
