Food for thought.....
Pentagon Spent $5 Billion on Weapons on Eve of
Shutdown 01 Oct 2013 The Pentagon pumped billions of dollars into
contractors' bank accounts on the eve of the U.S. government's shutdown that saw
400,000 Defense Department employees furloughed. All told, the Pentagon
awarded 94 contracts yesterday evening on its
annual end-of-the-fiscal-year spending spree, spending more than five billion
dollars on everything from robot submarines to Finnish hand grenades and a radar
base mounted on an offshore oil platform. To put things in perspective, the
Pentagon gave out only 14 contracts on September 3, the first workday of the
month.
