The Hill opinion piece by a usual NY Post writer completely omits this aspect of the story as it might appear to regular people:

‘Use it or lose it’: Pentagon spending binge set record in final days of fiscal year

September spending at government agencies typically dwarfs other months because it marks the end of the fiscal year. That’s when “use it or lose it” funding rules kick in for departments rushing to spend the remainder of their budget so as to not forfeit the unused money and have to send it back to the Treasury Department.

But according to Open the Books, no federal agency has ever spent so much on grants and contracts in a single month as the Pentagon’s $93.4 billion in September 2025. More than half of that was spent in the final five working days of the month, the watchdog said.

The money spent on shellfish and steak – more than $15 million on ribeye, according to Open the Books – was likely for troops on extended deployment ahead of the current war in Iran, experts said.

"experts" you say? Steak and lobster for what troops on extended deployment?

$15 million will get you a whole lot of decommissioned but refurbished minesweepers.

You are the one who is spinning as your article of choice completely leaves out this was part of a last minute use-it-or-lose crash purchase.

Of course it was, its like that every year. What made this different? The amount, whoopeee but thats not juicy and scandalous enough when you can accuse the DecWar of Chowing on 19 million dollars of steak.

The point is more the utter depravity of the anti Trump loons

As above -- But according to Open the Books, no federal agency has ever spent so much on grants and contracts in a single month as the Pentagon’s $93.4 billion in September 2025.

Lobster and steak for the troops is waste and fraud? Figures you would ssay that.

Seems I recall you whinging about the Somali Fraud in Minn. Great look for a ssupposed American: hate treats for the troops but love tithes to Somali terrorists
