| 2017-04-27 |
| [Daily Signal] Since 2002, billions of U.S. tax dollars have been spent rebuilding Afghanistan after decades of war. A big chunk of that money pays Afghan soldiers and police. But it turns out a lot of those troops may not, in fact, exist. On "Full Measure," we investigate how your tax money is being wasted on "ghost soldiers." Here’s my interview with John Sopko, who is the inspector general watching over the U.S. taxpayer billions spent to rebuild Afghanistan. |

One of the reasons the office of Inspector General was created by monarchs who couldn't print money on paper and in effect ignore the problem (cause something would need to be done about it). |
