How does one billion dollars disappear?

Thank you for bringing us this urgent news from 2019.

I spent it on this here giant candelabra ring. It shiny and it shoot flame.

If you read the article, the $1 billion was not entirely a new expenditure, it was a mix of rebranding spending over a period of years on some already existing programs (which continued) and some new programs that never got off the ground (and thus were never funded).

R3 nice try, while partially correct… lots of the money spent is unaccounted for…

How much money is “unaccounted for?” Nowhere near the billion OP claims is “missing.”

Cheetoh should have been in jail for fraud in the 1970s. Far from being persecuted, he has skated on illegal conduct for fifty years.

R5 about $220M is completely unaccounted for

The article OP posted does not say any money is “unaccounted for.” It questions the efficacy of some programs and points out that others were never launched. A political and administrative failure, but not embezzlement.

In Tennessee and Mississippi, republican legislators lose more than that in any given year, like the $2 million earmarked for the poor that they gave to a professional football player.

Not to mention the $1 trillion that your buddy Paul Bremer misplaced in Baghdad.

$7 trillion was spent to build an air force to defend the United States which simply could not be found anywhere on September 11, 2001. There were no planes, no pilots, no missiles, nothing.

A couple trillion were lost at the Pentagon and auditors were looking for it when a passenger jet (really a cruise missile) hit their offices.

Again, r7, you are reading in something that isn’t there. There is a discrepancy in two attempts to sum up which city programs are considered part of the Thrive initiative. The point of the inquiry is to assess the effectiveness of the program. The discrepancy is not “missing money’ in the sense that it came out of NYC’s bank accounts and disappeared without a trace.

Only in New York, kids, only in New York.

deBlasio and his wife were stealth Republicans.

Certainly not Cindy.

The US has become easily as corrupt as Argentina, Brazil, and Venezuela

There is NO missing money.

You mean like people who claim to be the REAL Americans, then try to overthrow the government when their candidate loses, Defacto?

You’re not very good at this whataboutism game, defacto. Maybe go to Russia which has the form of government you want, and study it there for a while? Give it ten years.

Crooks. They should all be in jail. All those programs are bullshit anyway. None of the money makes enough of an impact on those in need. Stop all this grifting.

Well that's what conservatives said about all social work and guess what, we are paying for that today now that sociopathy has become endemic among the young.

Why are people giving OP, a raving Trumptard, so much attention?

Go away, Trumptard. Go away.

I just can’t believe how stupid the Trumptards are. You can tell them anything and attach an article that completely contradicts what you tell them which, of course, they will not read and just assume it supports the claim they want to believe.

R22 the money is unaccounted for. You’re an idiot and will cover up anything for progressives

Why are you looking at us?

Evidence, r22?

^r23?

Ordinary reading comprehension is a lost arrt, which is ironic considering how much time these Trumptards spend online "reading."

Nice try, hon.

Wrong thread, retard.

So, no evidence? What a surprise.

R21 He's ahead in every poll. What's your plan if he wins? Keep stamping your feet and pretending? I seriously want to hear from one of our smart, strategic Dems on here as to how Biden can win. A big win. Not squeaking by to the point where it takes months to know who won and every Rethug contests it. What is the fucking plan?

Also OP:

*Biden proposes 2 debates with Trump, ditching bipartisan commission*
