Government Lies and Waste

I once was proud of our government, thinking we were the greatest country on the planet. Until I began researching the horrendous lies our government has been telling its' own citizens. They began to lie as early as the 1800's. To the Native Americans, in the form of treaties. Over 300 treaties they made and not one they kept. That was the beginning. When I think of a government that has gotten wealthy upon the backs of their own citizens, it enrages me. Buried in the Department of the Treasury’s 2003 Financial Report of the United States Government is a short section titled “Unreconciled Transactions Affecting the Change in Net Position,” which explains that these unreconciled transactions totaled $24.5 billion in 2003. A recent audit revealed that between 1997 and 2003, the Defense Department purchased and then left unused approximately 270,000 commercial airline tickets at a total cost of $100 million. Even worse, the Pentagon never bothered to get a refund for these fully refundable tickets. The Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and the Treasury say they have simply "lost" over $100 billion rightfully belonging to the nation’s most impoverished people and claim they cannot now provide an accurate accounting of how much is owed to whom. $100 billion owed to Native Americans. IF Big Brother is watching us, who's watching Big Brother??
