Much of the money struck from the books was for stale accounts, many older than four years, which an internal audit said have been piling up unpaid since 2000.
"Uncollectible accounts and aged inventory are two key areas that require attention to effectively manage the entire portfolio," says the draft audit from January this year, obtained under the Access to Information Act.

Can this government really be expected to fund our programs,with this level of spending to fix obviously broken systems? How much has been spent on Gomery, how much lost in the corruption, how much spent on the Gun Registry? What about the EI situation? The list continues to grow! The obvious, to me anyway, observation, is that these people simply can't manage our money.

What about a Worldwide IRS?<br />

Tax time is behind us now, and most American citizens would be happy not to have to think about the taxman's hand in their pockets for another year. The IRS today is out of control. There are over 30,000 pages of tax code, and it takes an accountant or a tax service to file your taxes. <br />
<br />
Wouldn't it be nice if we could simplify the tax code and eliminate the IRS? Good news! The United Nations wants to do that for us. However, this creates another problem. The UN wants to create it's own global IRS. Yes, you read that right--the UN wants to control and impose a wide array of taxes, and ultimately to tax even your income.<br />
<br />
That's because the UN has its sights set on becoming a bona fide global government within the next few years. According to "the most trusted man in America," the famous CBS news anchor Walter Cronkite, "We must strengthen the United Nations as a first step toward a World Government."<br />
