lunes, 26 de junio de 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington DC<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 Los senadores estadounidenses Ron Wyden, Jeff Merkley y colegas del Senado anunciaron hoy que introdujeron una legislaci\u00f3n bipartidista que requerir\u00eda que el Departamento de Defensa apruebe una auditor\u00eda completa e independiente en el a\u00f1o fiscal 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El a\u00f1o pasado, el Departamento de Defensa fall\u00f3 en su quinta auditor\u00eda y no pudo dar cuenta de m\u00e1s de la mitad de sus activos, que superan los $3.1 billones, o aproximadamente el 78 por ciento de todo el gobierno federal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cLos contribuyentes no pueden seguir escribiendo cheques en blanco: la transparencia del Pent\u00e1gono hace mucho tiempo que deber\u00eda frenar el gasto de defensa derrochador\u201d.<\/strong> dijo Wyden. \u201cSi el Departamento de Defensa no puede realizar una auditor\u00eda limpia, como lo exige la ley, el Congreso deber\u00eda imponer duras consecuencias financieras para responsabilizar al Pent\u00e1gono por la mala gesti\u00f3n del dinero de los contribuyentes\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo podemos controlar efectivamente el derroche de gastos de defensa sin una auditor\u00eda total y completa del Pent\u00e1gono\u201d, <\/strong>dijo Merkley. \u201cHay un acuerdo bipartidista, as\u00ed que hag\u00e1moslo para dirigir responsablemente los d\u00f3lares de los contribuyentes a programas que mantengan segura a nuestra naci\u00f3n mientras se invierte m\u00e1s en atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica, vivienda, educaci\u00f3n y empleos con salarios dignos que brinden a las familias y los trabajadores la oportunidad de prosperar\u201d. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

El Departamento de Defensa representa m\u00e1s de la mitad de los gastos discrecionales del gobierno federal y alrededor de dos tercios de toda la actividad de contrataci\u00f3n federal. A pesar de esto, el Departamento de Defensa sigue siendo la \u00fanica agencia federal que nunca ha logrado pasar una auditor\u00eda independiente, un requisito bajo la ley federal para todas las agencias gubernamentales desde principios de la d\u00e9cada de 1990.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Una noticia reciente informe<\/a> descubri\u00f3 que los contratistas de defensa estaban cobrando de m\u00e1s al Pent\u00e1gono, y al contribuyente estadounidense, en casi un 40-50 por ciento y, a veces, hasta 4,451 por ciento<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Pent\u00e1gono no ha mostrado la urgencia adecuada para abordar estos problemas. En 2021, la Oficina de Responsabilidad Gubernamental inform\u00f3 que el Departamento de Defensa no hab\u00eda implementado un enfoque integral para combatir el fraude en todo el departamento. A principios de este a\u00f1o, la Oficina de Responsabilidad Gubernamental reportado<\/a> que los sistemas de contabilidad del Departamento de Defensa no pueden generar informaci\u00f3n confiable y completa y ni siquiera pueden capturar y publicar transacciones en las cuentas correctas, en violaci\u00f3n de los requisitos legales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Auditar la Ley del Pent\u00e1gono de 2023<\/em> requerir\u00eda que cualquier componente del Departamento de Defensa que no complete una opini\u00f3n de auditor\u00eda limpia devuelva el 1 por ciento de su presupuesto al Tesoro para la reducci\u00f3n del d\u00e9ficit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Junto con Wyden y Merkley, la legislaci\u00f3n fue presentada por los senadores estadounidenses Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, Mike Lee, R-Utah, Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., Mike Braun, R-Ind., Rand Paul, R-Ky., Ed Markey, D-Massachusetts., y Tammy Baldwin, D-Wisconsin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Auditar la Ley del Pent\u00e1gono de 2023<\/em> est\u00e1 respaldado por el Comit\u00e9 de Servicio de Amigos Estadounidenses, Centro de Pol\u00edtica Internacional, Coalici\u00f3n sobre Necesidades Humanas, Defensa Com\u00fan, Demanda de Acci\u00f3n para el Progreso, Comit\u00e9 de Amigos sobre Legislaci\u00f3n Nacional, Pol\u00edtica Exterior Justa, Proyecto de Prioridades Nacionales en el Instituto de Estudios de Pol\u00edtica, Uni\u00f3n Nacional de Contribuyentes, Proyecto sobre supervisi\u00f3n gubernamental, Public Citizen, Instituto Quincy, R Street, Taxpayers for Common Sense y Win Without War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El texto de la factura es aqu\u00ed<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
