Pentagons End-of-Year Spending Spree: A Whopping $93 Billion in September 2025
The Pentagons spending in September 2025 reached an unprecedented $93 billion, with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth approving a last-minute spending spree to avoid budget cuts. Highlights include $6.9 million on lobster tails, $15 million on ribeye steaks, $2 million on Alaskan king crab, and over $120,000 on ice cream machines. Other luxury items like a $98,000 grand piano and $225 million on furniture also made the list. Lawmakers from both parties are outraged, with calls for investigations and reforms to prevent future splurges amid tighter budgets.
