bingo, this is an asinine way to do bookkeeping. And reuters shouldn't report based on this kind of waterfall problem. The issue is we're off by ~65B which is over 10% of the budget. That's the scandal someone is misdirecting away from. I want to change the parent to, I get you want to clickbait but seriously??
- gizmo 10y agoI think reuters' description is accurate. If you do your accounting in such a way that all numbers are garbage but the errors mostly cancel each other out it's not a matter of being unable to account for 10% of the budget, it's a matter of not being able to trust any numbers at all. This is deep institutional rot.
