Deficit to hit $897 Billion this year, Debt headed towards highest level since WWII

To add to the anecdotes here, when I was in the Marines, every year I'd go out and fire ammo for a week to use it all up. It didn't go bad, they just wanted to make sure they didn't lose that money in their annual budget. Literally, helicopters, tanks, heavy weaponry, you name it.... just burning millions of dollars so they can get it again. That system, along with the way bidding is done for federal contracts, needs to be completely re-examined.

In SOF we’d call that a training opportunity! But it really ramps up at the end of the FY.
