CBS.. It is amazing that we keep getting these nuggets of chaos from the housing side of the economy... How in the heck does hud lose $500B??? Finally a story to rival the $642 pentagon toilet seat
Catherine Austin Fitts researched missing HUD$ years ago. Search her name and HUD. She's a forensic accountant who worked under Reagan at one time. She discovered that HUD was basically being used as a conduit or a way to feed the "black budget", which funds off-the-books government programs. She found that billions were missing. This was in the late 1980s and she talks about that research a lot because it inspired her to look for other similar missing chunks of $. She has found quite a few. Fascinating stuff. Look it up for more.
