the joke is on Brian Riedl who has just publicized that he has poor reading comprehension and Bobbi who parroted Ried;'s mis-understanding and present it as gospel this is what AOC had posted "$21 TRILLION of Pentagon financial transactions “could not be traced, documented, or .explained.” the $21 T is the summation of all the errors found in Pentagon's accounting swamp eg. this is what could happen for a $1 B expenditure. it is recorded to either to the wrong account, without documentation and or explanation the entry is transferred to a suspense account, pending property documentation/explanation, then it is recorded to another account. upon further review, it is found to be the wrong account. it is a vicious cycleit takes ~ 100 round trips before the transaction is properly documented / recorded. the summation of all the errors. incorrect recordings, for this $1 B expenditure, totals $198 B
Try reading it again and understand that the failure to understand what she was reading was on AOC. You don't have to explain it to me because I understood it from the start and I assumed everyone else did too. It's the foolish future congresswoman that thought that 21 trillion in DOD misappropriated funds could have been used to fund a socialized healthcare system. It never occurred to her that there was no way the DOD even had that kind of money to misappropriate in the first place. I guess it was also you that misunderstood why I posted what I posted as well but I've spelled it out now so we should be on the same page. I didn't think that explanation was necessary or it would have been in my OP.
bobbi doesn't understand AOC's tweet "$21 TRILLION of Pentagon financial transactions “could not be traced, documented, or .explained.”
That's a good start, now read the rest. "$21T in Pentagon accounting errors. Medicare for All costs ~$32T. That means 66% of Medicare for All could have been funded already by the Pentagon. And that’s before our premiums." C'mon man, I spelled it out for you already.

Bobbie and @Os Trigonum dealing a killing blow to Speaker Ocasio's majority. Not sure how she survives this one.
Tis true, a dumb tweet by AOC. Doubt she'll own up, but hopefully someone explains it to her and she learns something. Moving on.
Well, this thread is about AOC tweets. But, I agree the size of the accounting problem they have is ridicorous. Only an unaccountable monopoly like that could possibly get away with such incompetence.
AOC's tweets were not factual. They hurt her own cause when she isn't careful enough about the information she puts out. She's young enough to learn from her mistakes hopefully.
No, she should have said we need to steal all the rich people's money and give it to the poor. I want a full on Robin Hood state.
I may have missed something, but where are all the threads praising AOC and championing her for anything other than what she's earned: 1 of 435. Pretty much the same amount of "give a ****" we give to Louie Gohmert
