It actually does say that the Army spent over their budget:

Skidmore got involved last spring when he heard Catherine Austin Fitts, former assistant secretary of Housing and Urban Development, refer to a report which indicated the Army had $6.5 trillion in unsupported adjustments, or spending, in fiscal 2015. Given the Army’s $122 billion budget, that meant unsupported adjustments were 54 times spending authorized by Congress.

US budget for 2015 was 3.688 trillion USD[0]. There are many things that are possible, but US army spending nearly double of the entire US budget without anyone noticing isn't one of them.
