“No, sir, that is $23 billion in a single year. That is almost $100 for every man, woman and child in the whole United States of America, to put this in perspective. You know we throw these billions around like basically speaking that $1 billion is $4 per person. This is nearly $100 for every man, woman and child in the United States of America that is gone, for reasons ranging from inadvertent mistakes to outright fraud and abuse in one single agency. But listen to this one. If anybody out there is not concerned with these pictures, listen to this. This is what the Air Force Logistics System found, and again now I am quoting word for word from the report that they sent back to my office. Three databases included in the Air Force's central logistics system contained discrepancies on the equipment, on the number of assets on hand, including ground-launched and air-launched cruise missiles, aircraft and helicopters. Let me translate that into English. They went into the Pentagon, they looked at their central logistics system to try and figure out how many of these missiles they were supposed to have. When they went out in the field to find them, the number they found versus the number they were supposed to have was different numbers. Let me read this one again, because of all of these things, this one scares the living daylights out of me.…”
