Billion Dollar Smiles

by Norman E. Hooben
There's a headline over at the Washington Compost aah, Post (link to article) that reads, "USASpending.gov short of data on $619 billion worth of grants and awards" by Nancy Scola.
Scola writes about what's missing data and in my opinion makes excuses for what really happened to the missing money.  Here's some excerpts:

Launched in December 2007, USASpending.gov was meant as a way of tapping modern technology to hand the American public the means to track what the federal government spends. But a new report from the Government Accountability Office found that, in 2012 at least, more than $619 billion in federal awards that should be accounted for on the site weren't.

… (There are two more paragraphs here)

USASpending.gov was launched to great fanfare in 2007, the product of the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act. "Technology makes it possible for every American to know what is happening and to hold elected officials accountable," said one of its congressional sponsors, then-Senator Barack Obama.

Now lets step back in time while we remind ourselves about some promises some Senator from Illinois said awhile back:

The Obama-Biden Plan

Barack Obama has led efforts to reform government both in the Illinois State Senate and in the United States Senate. He will bring this commitment to making government work for the people, not the special interests, to the White House. Obama will ensure Washington works for the people, not the special interests.

Shine the Light on Washington Lobbying

• Centralize Ethics and Lobbying Information for Voters: Obama and Biden will create a centralized Internet database of lobbying reports, ethics records, and campaign finance filings in a searchable, sortable and downloadable format.
• Require Independent Monitoring of Lobbying Laws and Ethics Rules: Obama and Biden will use the power of the presidency to fight for an independent watchdog agency to oversee the investigation of congressional ethics violations so that the public can be assured that ethics complaints will be investigated.
• End the Practice of Writing Legislation Behind Closed Doors: As president, Barack Obama will restore the American people's trust in their government... (Note: No sense listing all the promises because practically all of them were broken.  But you can go here CHANGE.GOV to read the remaining lies.)

To top it off, most of the rhetoric in the Obama-Biden Plan became official when Obama entered the White House...here's a bit more (you would probably vomit if I listed all the lies.)
From the White House

Transparency and Open Government

Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies

SUBJECT: Transparency and Open Government

My Administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in Government. We will work together to ensure the public trust and establish a system of transparency, public participation, and collaboration. Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in Government.

Government should be transparent.

Transparency promotes accountability and provides information for citizens about what their Government is doing. (Repeat above Note here.)

So the United States Government is missing $619 billion dollars and nobody seems to know where it went.  I can think of where some of it went and the rest of it most likely went in similar ways.  Back in April of 2011, I posted the following right here on this website, "Where does Obama get his billion$ ? ...according to this report, he steals it!"  In that post there's an editorial that says Obama moved $85 billion to Honduras...in his own name!

Important to note is that the entry in this report naming “Barack Hussein Obama II” does not list him as the American President, but as he is the only person in the world having this exact name one would be hard pressed to believe it could be anyone else.

The editorial continues...

Since 2009 Obama has become the leading ally and cheerleader for the right-wing coop leader Porfirio Lobo, and Hillary Clinton’s US State Department is currently campaigning for Honduras to be readmitted to the OAS. Since the 2009 coup, the US has, also, built two new military bases in Honduras and increased its training of local police.

To where Obama gained access to a fortune that has made him the richest man in the world we can glean from the special report published last week by London’s Observer newspaper wherein they detailed how one of the United States largest banks named Wachovia was discovered to have laundered over $500 Billion for Mexican and Colombian drug cartels.

Now please don't think that I'm dreaming up some conspiracy theory but the fact remains we are missing billions of dollars and if you look back to see who was in charge of the billion dollar spending programs it was none other than Joe 'the clown' Biden:

President Obama has turned to his own vice president to oversee implementation of the $787 billion economic stimulus package, part of which will be available this week for state Medicaid programs.

Obama announced his decision before the National Governors Association in Washington on Monday, saying Vice President Joe Biden will help ensure the distribution of the money is not just swift, "but also efficient and effective."

"The fact that I'm asking my vice president to personally lead this effort shows how important it is for our country and future to get this right," he said.

Biden, in his new role, would meet regularly with key members of the Cabinet, governors and mayor to make sure their efforts are speedy and effective. He is expected to make regular reports to the president that will be posted online at www.recovery.gov. Source FOX News Feb 23, 2009
