Pentagons Record Spending Spree: $93 Billion in September 2025, Including Luxury Items
The Pentagon spent a record-breaking $93 billion in September 2025, with lavish purchases like lobster tails, ribeye steaks, and Alaskan king crab. This use-it-or-lose-it spending spree, approved by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, sparked criticism from both parties. Critics highlight the wasteful spending amidst calls for government efficiency. The spree peaked before the U.S. entered war with Iran in October 2025, with earlier months showing steady luxury food buys. Lawmakers plan hearings to investigate and reform the rules encouraging end-of-year splurges.
