(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - November 22, 2010: When does a promise to cut government spending result in $8 billion of new government waste? When DefenseDepartment procurement is involved.
Puzzling accounting in the Pentagon abounds. Weapon programs exceeded their budget by $300 billion in a single year. The Defense Department bought $13 billion in spare parts, $7 billion of which our troops don't need. Now, in its latest outrage, the department wants to pour $13 billion into its aging fleet of C-5 Galaxy cargo planes rather than purchase more capable aircraft, such as the C-17 Globemaster III.
