From the Project on Government Oversight (http://www.pogo.org/):
From $1,200 coffee cups to $100 million fighter jets that still aren’t ready for combat after 17 years in development, the Pentagon continues a long history of wasteful spending. It’s no secret that the bloated Pentagon budget — slated to reach $716 billion in 2019 — puts defense contractors ahead of troops and taxpayers. At the Project On Government Oversight, we got our start by shining a light on wasteful Pentagon spending, and with the nation’s defense budget careening toward record highs, that work is more important than ever.
We’ve pushed successful reforms to rein in Pentagon waste, but defense overspending continues to be the norm. Will you take a minute to learn the truth about wasteful Pentagon spending?
