DARPA? Defense Department?

News on the homefront today indicated that a review shows the Defense Department "MISSING" several BILLION DOLLARS!! from the record books and audit tracking!! This should make the Enron scandal seem like a walk in the park but watch and wait...it will get quietly swept under some rug somewhere and no one will be held accountable for squandering taxpayer money!!

Government money? NO...not hardly! The government doesn't produce or make money (aside from its own printing presses at the Mint). It relies on money from the people...the wonderful taxpayers to whom they should owe a reasonable explanation!! Not some BS whitewashed story!! Where did our money go? Who is accountable and what should the consequences be for a major screw up like this! It's an embarrassment!!

Now just how much did that robot cost?
