The bonds are reissued (churning) regularly, which resolves the debt load on completion. This is how it works with car loans and mortgages: the cost of the car or house is less than you borrow, while the interest included with your monthly payment resolves the actual cash value of the purchase in addition to the accrued interest.<\/p>\n<p>Current assets in the US Treasury as of 17 June 2020 were $7,094,690 millions of U.S<em>.<\/em> Dollars. That\u2019s rounded off at $7.1 trillions. In order to meet the demand for more cash from the House of Reps, to be distributed as stimulus checks, the Treasury would have to mint two platinum coins worth $1 trillion each, and deposit them at the Federal Reserve. <a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2020\/03\/25\/coronavirus-stimulus-bill-how-will-us-pay-trillion-dollar-coin\/\">https:\/\/fortune.com\/2020\/03\/25\/coronavirus-stimulus-bill-how-will-us-pay-trillion-dollar-coin\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The digger I deep, the more better and better it becomes.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Skidmore did an analysis in 2017 which showed discrepancies similar to those he found more recently, which he discusses in the interview.<\/p>\n<p>You can download the print report from 2019, in which he shows that &#8220;causes&#8221; of discrepancies were redacted for no obvious reason. The document is not classified, therefore, unless someone is trying to hide something that is indicative of fraud, there is no reason for that. The cash amount is there, but the explanations are cut off. Now you have to ask why is that so, and why are there so many of them? And that&#8217;s just his review of the Army&#8217;s funding.\u00a0 What are they hiding? What else is being blocked from the public eye?<\/p>\n<p>This is appalling. What is the Army hiding by cutting off those details? The obvious question is how much fraud and waste is being hidden overall in the government, and who is responsible for it?<\/p>\n<p>Skidmore\u2019s report makes it clear that the report he received from Treasury, in which missing data explanations were cut off, is unacceptable. This reeks of government corruption and fraud at high levels.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/missingmoney.solari.com\/missing-money-update-may-2020\/\">https:\/\/missingmoney.solari.com\/missing-money-update-may-2020\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The video interview is about 40 minutes long and is worth the time it takes to view it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Z44Bg7kE9c4&amp;feature=youtu.be\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Z44Bg7kE9c4&amp;feature=youtu.be<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the real issue: As stated above, Treasury is backed up by the precious metals held by the Federal Reserve to support the US\u2019s financial system. The current actual amount held by the Fed is $7.1 trillions in gold. In order to boost that to over $9++ trillions to support the economy through a severe recession, the Fed may have to mint two platinum coins valued at $2.0 trillion. Otherwise, the Treasury is essentially issuing Monopoly money through BP&amp;E. This is something that people in Congress don&#8217;t seem to grasp.<\/p>\n<p>This should be interesting because Skidmore addresses the military in particular as a large portion of the US budget that goes into government programs. Since the Army isn&#8217;t coming clean, those discrepancies very likely started a while ago, before Trump was ever even a bright idea in someone&#8217;s head. I&#8217;m guessing it may have even started back in the 1960s with LBJ&#8217;s announcement of the welfare program. I do enjoy blaming a lot of today&#8217;s troubles on that self-aggrandizing bloviating blowhard. Remember when he got hisself a Silver Star during WWII?<\/p>\n<p>It is very, very interesting on its own merits, but more so because of the recession we are in, which may continue into 2023 if financial analysts are even remotely accurate. Their original forecast was made in 2018, stating that a recession would occur in 2020 and continue into at least 2022, and possibly 2023, and look where we are now. They did not state the cause, only the event.<\/p>\n<p>It is legitimate to ask &#8216;WTF is going on here?&#8217;, especially when Mr. Skidmore indicates that he cannot find a reasonable answer for the heinous debt load of $90 trillion. As he indicates in the interview, the accountancy that should cover it is missing. His frustration is quite evident. Why is there such a vast difference between the actual numbers ($21 trillions) and this debt load of $90 trillions?\u00a0 Where is this money being hidden and who is hiding it? How in the blue-eyed blinking world does any country accumulate that kind of debt load without anyone knowing about it until someone blows the whistle on it? You can&#8217;t even account for it by using the lame &#8220;military overspending&#8221; phrase.<\/p>\n<p>The interviewer does ask some pertinent questions, e.g., was the BLM disturbance meant as a distraction? &#8211; that sort of thing. I think it&#8217;s time we all started asking some pertinent questions, ourselves. It could explain why the House passed the HEROES Act bill, which ups the debt load substantially, but which the Senate objects to supporting. Perhaps the House expected the Senate to just fall in line behind them?<\/p>\n<p>At this point, I&#8217;d be happy to put some spendthrifts in Congress through an Inquisition about it. Where the hell is this money and how was it spent? Seriously, where in the blue-eyed world did $90 trillion dollars go when the US government has never, ever had any budget that came to anything remotely near that amount?<\/p>\n<p>I think it&#8217;s high time we all started asking what in the blue-eyed trout fishing world IS going on here? $90 trillions in a debt load with no explanation for it?<\/p>\n<p>It is not just bad accounting, but it does indicate that something is very, very wrong.\u00a0 Always, always, always follow the money.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is going to be rather detailed, so pop some popcorn, fetch a cold one, and &hellip; <a title=\"Your Tax Dollars Went&#8230; Where?\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=101593\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Your Tax Dollars Went&#8230; Where?<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":653,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[213,11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-101593","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-your-tax-dollars-at-work","category-economy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101593","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/653"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=101593"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101593\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":101596,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101593\/revisions\/101596"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=101593"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=101593"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=101593"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
