Watching our Billions drift away

Today, the House of representatives passed a $105.9 billion dollar war supplemental bill, which included a down payment on the international IMF slush fund Obama promised at the G "new world order II" meting in London.  

The dollar figure for this bill has shot up over the past four months, especially considering that during his campaign, Obama's promised to end supplemental military spending altogether.  But when the White House released its "topline" budget request in February, it included an extra $75.5 billion of war funding for the rechristend forever war--the "Overseas Contingency Operation."  Since then, $10 billion in foreign military aid has been added, as well as $2 billion for a "swine flue response." 

Funnily enough, Washington is concurrently investigating how little oversight it really has over the spending of money once it has entered the National Security black hole.
