The U.S. Department of War spent over $93.4 billion in a single month as part of a "use-it-or-lose-it" budget rush to exhaust remaining funds before the end of the fiscal year.Â
These purchases, among others, were:
$5.3 million on Apple products (including iPads) and over $5.9 billion on technology and communications.
$225 million was spent on furniture, which included expensive Herman Miller recliners.
$98,000 on a Steinway grand piano, thousands on premium ice-cream machines, custom-made flutes, and expensive fruit basket stands.Â
$6.9 million on lobster tail, $2 million on Alaskan king crab, $15.1 million on ribeye steak, $124,000 on ice cream machines, and $139,000 on doughnuts.
$6.6 billion to foreign-owned companies or foreign governments in that same month, including items manufactured abroad.
The final five days of September, the Pentagon finalized $50.1 billion in contracts and grants.
Regular corporate beneficiaries include:
Lockheed Martin
RTX Corporation (formerly Raytheon)
General Dynamics
Boeing Company
Palantir Technologies
L3Harris Technologies

Hey. The frozen ice cream dispensers are an important psy-op.
They let Iranians know just how badly they're losing, as they struggle to distribute half-baked bread and yellow-cake uranium on the backs of pack animals and Honda motorcycles through the smoking ruins of millennia-old mirror palaces, wind cooling tunnels and girls' schools.

They moved $93 Billion of taxpayer funds to the private hands of corporations and investors in the military industrial complex.
They have done this type of thing for 90%+ of the nations history.
They are little more than warmongering arms-dealers, stealing money from captive cattle.
