Now you know where your hard earned dollars are going!!

Actually, according to your information, we have no idea where our hard earned dollars are going. In all seriousness those are just the types of things that are such a big part of the problem. The bulk of that money was likely lent to the government by the FED, and in spite of the government's inablility to account for it, we as the taxpayers are on the hook for repayment through taxes. It is an ugly and illegal cycle that needs to end now!

Maybe they left it in their other pants pocket.
That's where I'd look.

All of this money is just "vapor currency" anyway. So let's just pretend it was never lost in the first place. But next time, somebody please drop some in my checking account. It would help. Thank you.

Wow all that money...

You have a U2U
