What were these missing trillions supposed to be spent on? Are most of the pentagon's budget line items in appropriations bills? When congress appropriates these enormous amounts, they are not sent as single lump sum check and deposit in XYZ bank. They are broken up into specific and smaller (though enormous) sums and transferred electronically and show up as a positive amount on some balance sheet. And then checks are drawn to sub contractors, and all the related highly inflated expense items.
So what is being referred to when they say they were looking for 2.3 trillion dollars gone lost? Perhaps they were trying to put together a second set of books to explain were years of DOD spending went.
I think of several things when I read this post:
1) Lots of stuff I have read by Catherine Austin Fitts who was screaming about money transactions connected to 9/11 starting as early as 9/13, perhaps. I'd have to wade back through it all to excise and excerpt out relevant passages. She may well have been one of the very first 9/11 Truthers.
2) The movie starring Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta Jones in which they pulled off a heist of a bank in the tall towers of Malaysia at the absolute stroke of midight at the turn of the millennium by stopping the clock for milli-seconds and draining the inflow during that time period to a different account.

3) The fact that an obscure Air Force colonel at Maxwell Air Force base did a million dollars worth of unauthorized and unnoticed number-crunching on Air Force computers proving his design of the F-15 yet the Air Force could never prove that he pulled off the heist of time. He eventually only showed them how when he was given full immunity in writing. [Remember that this same fellow was pulled out of retirement to go to Washington to meet with the Secretary of Defense and brief him on his theories of destruction, creation, orientation, observation, and decision-making in action.

4) The same techniques used by high end traders on Wall Street using computers that work faster and over shorter cable lengths to see what others are trading and how the market is performing milli-seconds faster than the competitors.
4) The suggestion (see Fitts above, as well as others) that the nation's intel agencies drain Federal budgets and perhaps other accounts in such tiny amounts that their losses seem minuscule but, collectively, add to mega-dollars for the express purpose of funding covert operations or creating corporations that Congress will not either fund or permit.
A recent GAO report notes that almost all the accounting of the Federal spending for the last ten years is effectively so messy than an audit would not suffice to add clarity, that no one can say with any authority what is going on.
Finally, it apparently doesn't matter to some, as there is a printing operation in the basement making $100,000 bills in sheets at a high rate 24 hours a day.
