My take away from the article is that even the people that write the budget have no idea what they are doing and the budget has been built almost like a money laundering scheme.

They have no ideas if staff are funded, payments come from many different accounts, and there is no solid numbers that encompass each whole office budget. This looks like every case of money laundering I have ever seen.

If your checkbook is so messed up you can't understand how to balance it, then you probably should not be in charge of it anymore.
