The problem isn’t the $124,000 Pete Hegseth’s Department of Defense spent on ice cream machines last September. Or the $15.1 million they spent on ribeye steak. Or even the $26,000 they dropped on sushi prep tables. Knowing what we know about Pete Hegseth, we should be thankful there were tables and not that whole “eat your sashimi off a naked lady” presentation.
The problem is that every last week of September is Christmas at the Pentagon.
Open the Books, which tracks government spending, writes: “In the last five working days of September alone, the DoD spent $50.1 billion on grants and contracts. That’s more than the annual defense budget of countries like Israel and Italy.”
