This column is co-authored with Mark Skidmore, a Professor of Economics at Michigan State University.
In our prior column (https://www.forbes.com/sites/kotlikoff/2017/12/08/has-our-government-spent-21-trillion-of-our-money-without-telling-us/#3c049bdf7aef), Mark and I wrote about $21 trillion in unaccounted government transactions, primarily on defense. The DOD's (Department of Defense) as well as HUD's (Department of Housing and Urban Development) Offices of Inspector General (OIG) reference these transactions as "unsupported journal voucher adjustments." This is polite accounting language for lost, hidden or stolen money. If such "adjustments" were small, it would be one thing. But they totaled some $21 trillion between 1998 and 2015!

These people (government people) are used to working with huge sums of money.  That is why we should turn our healthcare over to them.  And all education too.

You mean like black ops, or welfare for African Americans?

good grief.  A black program is slang for secret programs (acknowledged or unacknowledged).
