“Unsupported modifications”
A 2017 report published by economist Mark Skidmore of Michigan State University (MSU) piqued her curiosity about the missing funds.

According to a statement released by MSU, the report “showed the Army had $6.5 trillion in unsupported adjustments, or spending, in fiscal 2015.” Considering the Army’s $122 billion budget, the unsupported adjustments amounted to 54 times the amount of spending that Congress had approved. Usually, only a small portion of authorized spending is affected by such changes to public budgets.

The “gargantuan nature of unsupported” federal spending “should be a great concern to all taxpayers,” Forbes continues.

Fitts, a former investment banker, was determined to find the money, so he and Skidmore dug deep beneath the surface of the earth for two years.
