Clearly we should follow the money. Start with the biggest bucks and work down. Do statistical sampling of all categories to keep the crooks scared, but our primary focus should be accounting for all that "Terabuck" expenditure.

On another thread I detailed just how much money a US TRILLION DOLLARS (Terabuck) is -

- 400 times the distance to the moon with bills end to end.
- 80 thousand miles high if stacked
- a 100 meter cube (more than a football field with endzone in each dimension)
- a train 200 miles long if loaded into boxcars at weigh capacity

The bonuses are chump change and causing us to take our eye off the ball.
