Yet again we all ask the same: WHERE do the fines go?
How audit?
Recall Pfizer was fined $2+ BILLION for stuff they did a few years ago (not talking about the TRILLIONS in fraud recently revealed)
But WHERE SPECIFICALLY do the 'fines' wind up?
Also, if we are facing a gov't shutdown because we ran out of money in our budget, then how the F were we able to supply Ukraine (the most corrupt, according to some) with 100B++ in 'aide'
Where the hell is accountability in ANY of our agencies... and if not accountability, transparency?
- kube-system 4y agoMost federal fines go to the treasury unless there are laws stating otherwise, and then Congress decides what to do with it. There are many thousands of pages of documentation on treasury.gov if you are interested in learning more. In the end, Congress must authorize all spending.
- astrange 4y agoThe government cannot run out of money, it owns a money printer. And there isn't a shutdown, you're thinking of the debt ceiling, which is basically the government refusing to pay its credit card bills even though it's perfectly capable of it.
