Honest mistakes to be sure: Gov’t ‘transparency’ website missing at least $619 billion

A government website intended to make federal spending more transparent was missing at least $619 billion from 302 federal programs, a government audit has found.

And the data that does exist is wildly inaccurate, according to the Government Accountability Office, which looked at 2012 spending data. Only 2% to 7% of spending data on USASpending.gov is “fully consistent with agencies’ records,” according to the report.

[...]
For more than 22% of federal awards, the spending website literally doesn’t know where the money went. The “place of performance” of federal contracts was most likely to be wrong.
​

The Department of Health & Human Services “failed to report nearly $544 billion” to the “transparency” website in 2012, which of course justified giving Kathleen Sebelius a hero’s sendoff in April of this year.

Here’s how many people have been fired for all the incompetence:




According to Newsbusters, only CBS thought this story was important enough to mention:

Instead of covering the missing $619 billion in taxpayer money, Good Morning America showed video of a farmer in Kansas serenading his cows by playing the song “Royals” on his trombone. NBC’s Today spent nearly three minutes discussing the supposed controversy surrounding a new Kim Kardashian mobile app.
​

Priorities!

On top of it all, earlier this year the State Department said they “lost” $6 billion. How much more “smart power” can the country handle?

Kim Kardasian has a mobile app? That is big news.

Perhaps the conterversy is that there was more than 1 person who downloaded it.

Nothing else on the internet is either accurate or believable, why should information on a government website be any different?
