Former pwc guy here with a question for my auditors. Why is the pentagon allowed to fail audits 6 years in a row, with $2.3 trillion in tax payer dollars unaccounted for, and no one talks about it?

No one? You mean other than Elizabeth Warren who has been very vocal about this for years? Or maybe you mean the very influential people in all 3 branches of government who benefit from protecting the corrupt policies with legislation or lack of funds for enforcement? They like their perks too much to give them up. From flat out bribery to cushy speaking fees and guaranteed “consulting” positions when they leave government. The system is so broken but everyone is in it for themselves. Not a popular subject because it shows people’s true colors. Oh, was that a rhetorical question?
