A worthy distinction, my inherent distrust of auths makes me hear "unaccounted for" as "thieved by the filthy rich, whatcha gon' do 'bout it, pleb?"

The US federal government generally isn’t too corrupt. What generally happens is congressmen support their jurisdiction rather than the entire country. You’ll see West Virginian senators helping coal, Connecticut senators helping insurance companies, Illinois helping transport, Indiana manufacturing, Kansas agricultural etc. 

Another thing you see is regulators coming from the industry they are regulating because it is believed that they have the most experience with it. But people from said industries remember what regulations they didn’t like and so act in favor of the companies themselves. 

But actual corruption is more common among more local governments as there is less of a spotlight on them. For example, can you name your mayor? What about any elected judges? Head of your state’s DoT?
