Reply to comment by TheGreatestOutdoorz in NASA planetary science budget remains under stress by Lolbitable

Spending the money doesn't count as losing it, but being unable to account for it definitely does. They didn't "just" lose that amount, but over the last decade or so at least that much defense money has just vanished into the aether without anyone being able to tell where it went.

Are you talking about the silly claim that AOC made, which was completely debunked, which even the NYT took her to task for? Cause that’s the only thing I can think you are talking about and three seconds on google will show you why it’s BS.

If that's the only thing you can think of I can only guess you aren't paying attention, given funds vanishing on those kinds of scales has been a thing for far longer than one new congresswoman has been doing the rent-free thing in peoples' heads. Unless you're saying she made those claims while Bush was in office too, I guess.
