The bean counters can't make heads nor tails of the spending of the entire Federal government.

Then the program should be halted immediately until the bean-counters catch up.

"The bean counters can't make heads nor tails of the spending of the entire Federal government."

I don't think its even possible to know just how much the government spends. The best we can do is measure the flow in areas and make a guess, sort of like putting a flow meter in a river for a month then calculating how much water is moving by per year. It can never account for fluctuations in rainfall and runoff, droughts and storms.
