The looming ammunition shortage isn’t for lack of funds, according to those familiar with the issue. The U.S. announced this week that it was setting aside nearly $3 billion for long-term aid intended to help Ukraine, bringing the total spent on weaponry for the country to $14 billion, and the Biden administration’s Pentagon budget request for next year is $773 billion.

What is needed, she said, is for the government to spend money to fix the problem.

“There are some problems you can buy your way out of,” she said. “This is one of them.”

I’ve been in the machine and will never go back. They don’t care about any of us. I always say, unless you owe them money, become a nuisance or break one of their stupid laws that don’t apply to them they don’t care about you.

I’ve seen people embezzling 100,000’s of thousands of dollars and huge corruption and nothing would happen until the second or third time if you were in a lower position and that’s only if someone from the outside kept putting pressure on them to do something. Usually it would normal person to contact the right congress person or senator to get their first slap on the hand. If caught multiple times they’d be given an early retirement with full pay and benefits. We’re talking about people in their 20’s and 30’s.

If you were higher up you just disappeared with a different title to continue on if you wanted to.

that's frightening, but not suprising.

and unfortunately i think it speaks to the macro view. there is a class of ppl that have been and are continuing to bleed the US dry for all its worth and when that's done they will jump ship and leave the husk to the masses of ppl who've been unknowingly holding up the illusion by "working hard" and "paying their fair share". meanwhile the grifters have been robbing the country blind and siphoning unearned wealth for a century and stealing the economic prosperity that should be shared by all who put in.
