D.O.G.E discovers $4.7 Trillion Treasury payment code hidden in budget

Say that real slow. FOUR TRILLION SEVEN HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS!
...no wonder the thieving leftists assholes are mad.
MSN: $4.7 trillion black hole in the Treasury

A $4.7 trillion black hole in US government spending just got exposed. Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E) discovered that nearly five trillion dollars in Treasury payments had been processed without a mandatory identification code today, making the money nearly impossible to track.
The issue? The Treasury Access Symbol (TAS)—a required code that links federal payments to budget line items—was optional for years. According to D.O.G.E, billions of dollars were flowing unchecked, leaving little to no trail on where the money actually went. As of Saturday, the TAS field is now mandatory.
“In the Federal Government, the TAS field was optional for ~$4.7 trillion in payments and was often left blank, making traceability almost impossible. As of Saturday, this is now a required field, increasing insight into where money is actually going,” D.O.G.E posted on X Monday night. The agency credited the US Treasury for helping uncover the issue.

sounds like a whistleblower in the US Treasury found someone who listened.

FYI this doesn’t mean $4.7 trillion is missing. It just means it requires forensic auditing and some tech legwork to track and trace since the field to tie a payment to a budget line was fricking optional for some reason. And DOGE is doing exactly that.
Some questions I have:
- was the field always optional? If so then why the f-ck was it optional?
- if it was once mandatory when did it become optional? Who authorized that? I want that person in front of a camera explaining why they did this.
- did the spending we can actually track adhere to the law?
- if it did not adhere to the law, who is responsible for it? They need consequences.
- how do we prevent this from ever happening again?

It’s really hard to fathom what’s going on. Decades of fraud and corruption at the highest level finally exposed, yet idiots with Covid masks will continue to protest.

Just to be clear, all of the $4.7 trillion in U.S. Treasury payments are not fraud but they cannot be tracked if they are fraud or not. Now they can.
Let's see how this plays out as the new requirement for the TAS field is required for future outlays. I have a feeling there will be many WTF moments to come.

There's about to be a big turnover in Washington.

I don't get it, this would have been uncovered pretty quickly in a standard internal audit of their process and procedures
Did the OIG not point this out or recommend this to be changed in any audit engagement before?

It was purposely set up to be an “optional field” for this purpose!
Thinking otherwise is straight NAIVE or DUMB

This should be considered treasonous.

So, at what point does the folks responsible for managing the Treasury Department incompetentance cross the line to a criminal act?
Or, surely they could be sued in civil court for such horrendous mismanagement of other people's money....????

There is a reason 17 IG's were fired 2 weeks ago

It’s a threat to democracy to apply TAS codes

So when does someone call this what it is-criminal?
Or will they say that if they went after every one we wouldn't have any govt remaining?
No one will be held accountable because of the same ole continuation of govt.
Has anyone been arrested? Anyone? Durham found a KGB spy was HIRED by the FBI. So what will be a big enough crime?

Maybe not missing but we aren’t talking about the petty cash sitting in the top drawer. That would be money used in huge sums to finance things away from the public eye , possibly even congressional eyes
