Anybody seen where my 2.3 trillion went?

Bureaucracy is inefficient in every country or international organisation, Japan loses pension records for almost half its population, here in Belgium we have a Ministry of Defence that's basically bankrupt, and our Ministry of Finances "misplaced" about 1 billion euros worth of tax money. Bureaucrats tend to become sloppy when they aren't dealing with their on money, when things get too abstract, they don't realize the impact that their mistakes can have. The worst part is that despite all the reports and warnings, bureaucrats never have to pay a price for their mistakes, even if they cover it up. External audits were created for a good reason, but even their findings aren't deemed significant enough to change the system. Sadly enough, just like so many other screw ups, this will cause a tiny scandal for about a week or so, and no seems to care anymore after that.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
