subject text <i> The Department of Defense is unable to account for the use of $8.7 billion [96%] of the $9.1 billion it spent on reconstruction in Iraq. </i> <p> <a href="http://www.good.is/post/infographic-where-did-the-money-to-rebuild-iraq-go/">Link</a> <p> How does the government get away with this? Who is going to prison for embezzlement over this? If a public company reported to it's shareholder that $8.7B mysteriously disappeared, would there be no shareholder law suits? Am I allowed to only pay taxes on 4% of my income and claim the other 96% is "unaccounted for"? password
