[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.
start an audit of every employee and their family to see where that money went to
When Bill Clinton was president me was in charge of trying to create a help system. Hundreds of millions of dollars went missing, it could not be traced the books were such a mess. Hillary and Chelsea went to a Swiss bank will loan suitcase could that be part of the money? Well George W. Bush was president and billions of dollars disappear from a warehouse in Iraq. There was no way to trace where it went. Now Obama’s president and Hillary was in charge of the State Department. $6 billion goes missing, and there’s no trace of it could be that when Bill was president that money was just for practice.
There’s a easy way to solve this make Obama prove were it’s going. Release a small amount to verify that it’s going were him an his cronies say.An the number 1 thing fire mrs.obama she doesn’t have a job she’s in a non paying status an her daughters again fire them, they never should have been getting a pay check nor her mother
They gave it to countries that hate the U S !
This is truly sad, I hope it’s not true otherwise My support for Obama will diminish

No more MONEY for obama
Yes check Hillary
The brotherhood has it
Find it or they can pay it back them selves
