Once we get the money back we have to make sure that we also replace the system that "lost" it with one that tracks our money locally so we can keep our eyes on it. Court 8 Carolyn Estes US 9 W. Marc Tognotti US 10 Rev. Randy Hurley US What has transpired with the missuse and unavailable funds of Native American Indians, that have been unaccoutable since the early 1800s? 11 Mark Roest US 12 Kenneth Norton US The government is either honestly accountable to the people or it is a power foreign to the people. We need transparency in all levels of government accounting now. 13 Terry morawitz US We are in a critical time of loss of trust in government and eroding confidence in the democratic process. Getting this information brings transparency, as REQUIRED by law, is an essential step to reengage us all in the beauty of the democratic process.... 14 Marian McNamee US Why can HUD and DOJ and DOD waste our taxes when our schools are closing and our economy is so bad people are losing their jobs and homes? That money is ours, and we want it back. 15 john maeck US 16 john maeck US 17 Leanne Hoadley US 18 Charles W. Stroud US It is time to raise the level of public expectation in State and Federal fiscal accountability. The information cited here is evidence that the electorate has ignored this for too long. 19 Miles Thompson US Corruption is *the* single biggest problem facing the United States. Wars of Aggression, Problems in the economy -- all these things are a consequence. 20 J. Kaplowitz US 21 Bobby Harmon US 22 Steve Overall US If the US Congress is willing to invade and occupy Iraq because Iraq could not account for its missing military inventory, what SHOULD the US Congress be willing to do to and with the US GOVERNMENT if the US GOVERNMENT can not account for over $1 trillion? 23 william putney US Let's stop the destruction of this country, Now. 24 Meryl Nass US 25 Junious Stanton US it is time the American public let the government representatives know we are not ignorant sheep and they will be held accountable for their actions. 26 Dan Russell US 27 James Quaid US Enronesque accounting practices cannot be tolerated anywhere.

Our government leaders say they will not account for it. However finding this money could solve all of our federal, state and local budget crises. Where is the Money? The Department of Housing and Urban Development Office of the Inspector General has reported that HUD has not and will not account for $59 billion of "undocumentable adjustments." The Department of Defense Office of the Inspector General has reported that DOD has not and will not account for $1.1 trillion of "undocumentable adjustments." The "undocumentable adjustments" made by these government agencies are much like the balance adjustments many of us make when reconciling our checkbooks. Except that the amounts are staggering: California's share of the "undocumented adjustments" is $128 billion -- more than three times its current $35 billion budget deficit. The average American's share of the "undocumented adjustments" is almost $4,000 per person. Where is the Money? The fictional New Jersey mob family of The Sopranos television program has shown how some people make money by defaulting and foreclosing on HUD homes and destroying communities. Are the episodes of TV mobsters more informative about HUD operations than HUD financial statements? A General Accounting Office report found that the U.S. Army lost track of 56 airplanes, 32 tanks, and 36 Javelin missile command launch-units. Are planes, tanks and missiles running away from home? We, the undersigned, are being asked to pay for government corruption and fraud. We are paying with taxes, unemployment, foreclosures and bankruptcies. We are paying with cutbacks in services, deteriorating public infrastructure, and declining quality of life in our neighborhoods. We are paying with reduced health care and retirement benefits. We worry about the effect of the federal government's deteriorating financial condition on our children and grandchildren's financial security and education and on our environment. Such significant financial corruption is a national security issue. US Citizens provide financial reports and supporting documentation to the IRS annually, as required by law. We insist that the US government be held to the same standard. Where is the Money? We demand a complete and accurate balancing of the books of all US government agencies. We want a full audited accounting of the real cash and assets that should be in our national bank accounts and inventories. Furthermore, we demand that all government financial data on the expenditure of our tax revenues, the management of federal credit, and all agency contractor budgets be made publicly available via open website access. With citizen access to our financial data, we will find our money. Where is the Money?
