smitty Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 It's amazing how the government can screw things up. But yet the Low Information crowd hollers for more! :rolleyes: http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2014-08-05/government-transparency-website-missed-619-billion-in-spending Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LumRaiderFan Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 From the article: The GAO identified several culprits for the incomplete data, including technical issues with the website, a lack of guidance from the Office of Management and Budget on what information agencies were required to report, and insufficient oversight. Among the examples of oversight issues: The White House’s Office of National Drug Control Policy didn’t report several awards it made, and told the GAO that the Department of Health and Human Services was supposed to take care of that reporting instead; HHS said that wasn’t true. So they identified the "culprits" and then the finger pointing started...typical gov program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
