who cares about healthcare and our crumbling infrastructure? the military-industrial-Congressional complex keeps us safe! "The Department of Defense (DOD) spent at least $30,291,741,372.37 on 330 individual contracts during August 2013. When extrapolated, this number would indicate an annual war budget of roughly $360 billion. Official government documents place the annual war budget around $614 billion. The discrepancy arises when one considers the fluctuating nature of monthly budget allocations, which are often ad hoc and can vary by tens of billions of dollars. Furthermore, a plurality of DOD contracts in August 2013 were “modifications,” which simply are payments made on top of earlier, often exorbitant, contractual arrangements." ~ boilingfrogspost/2013/09/28/bfp-exclusive-report-a-distillation-of-dod-funding-priorities-for-august-2013/
