In February, Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) uncovered $4.7 trillion in payments made by the US Treasury that are “almost impossible” to trace – as Treasury Account Symbol (TAS) identification codes were optional in the system. This left billions in payments blank and unable to be traced.
“Of the 1.5 billion payments that we send out every year, they are required to have a TAS, a Treasury Account Symbol. We discovered that more than one third of those payments did not have a TAS number,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Financial Services earlier this month.
“In the Federal Government, the TAS field was optional for ~$4.7 Trillion in payments and was often left blank, making traceability almost impossible,” DOGE announced via its X account. Thanks to DOGE, those “optional” days are over. “…this is now a required field, increasing insight into where money is actually going,” DOGE added.
So while the TAS field is now mandatory, Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) has called for an investigation into where the untraceable payments have been going.
“There’s so much waste. There’s so much fraud, There’s so much abuse in our government,” Schmitt told Fox News. “I’m glad there was a laser-like focus on it. We ought to make many of those reforms permanent, but there probably ought to be some investigations here about where this money actually went. I mean this is taxpayer money. People work hard.”
In March. Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) introduced a bill – the LEDGER Act – requiring the Treasury Department to track all payments.
4.7 Trillion untraceable dollars ??
Unbelievable, Damn that biden crime family is good. Bank accounts must be audited with a fine tooth comb and any suspicious deposits need to be explained.
While I am no big fan or supporter of Biden, Biden has nothing to do with this as a whole. This secret money goes back for many years and decades. Stealth cost money. Money that we know nothing about.
” Black ” projects cost money. Money we know nothing about. Secret satellites cost money. Money we know nothing about. Spying cost money. Money we know nothing about. Cover ups cost money. Money we know nothing about.
You see where I’m going with this. There are many, many things that the U.S. Government spends money on in the name of national security that we know nothing about.
This secret spending didn’t just start yesterday or even the day before. Go back and start looking a hundred years ago and work your way all the way up to modern day.
