It's been a money pit forever!
Whatever happened to that $2.3 trillion anyway?
Many of us remembered that on
September 10, 2001, Donald Rumsfeld made the shocking announcement that the Pentagon "couldn't track"
$2.3 trillion of its transactions. "Iroquois" observes, "What's interesting to me is that he made his press release on a Monday. In DC, I always see bad news given on a Friday, usually late in the afternoon on Friday. The exception, of course, would be when someone happens to know that there is a far bigger story coming out."
