The Defense Department used portions of a $1 billion fund from Congress meant to aid in procuring medical supplies for the coronavirus pandemic response to purchase military equipment, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.

Defense contractors were awarded “hundreds of millions of dollars from the fund, mostly for projects that have little to do with the coronavirus response” weeks after the $2 trillion stimulus package, the CARES Act, was passed in March, according to the newspaper

I'd rather the funds go to something useful than to pointless virtue signaling.

I wouldn't say it that way but you can bet that flag officers will spend, spend, spend if there's a gray area.

I really hate when people do the "they used ___ funds for ____.
Money is the most fungible item on earth. I don't really pay much attention which pocket it came from. They are the same pair of pants.

He can't even keep the State department from continuing to hold Critical Race Theory lectures. How can he stop the MIC from spending money?

THIS.....we don't need any more ventilators, etc.....might as well use the money for something good.

These sorts of headlines are always a bit misleading. Money is fungible. If they didn't steal a dollar here, they would steal it there to meet their perceived most pressing needs.

Money is fungible like that.

Even the Pentagon knew it was a hoax

Our esteemed Baton Rouge Mayor was ahead of the curve for once! Spending CARES Act money on programs to get Democratic voters to the polls.

Pretty sure the military is more concerned with enemy combatants than they are some minor flu.

I always find it funny how you don’t have the intellect or balls to defend your positions. You just run when anyone challenges your gotchas.
For example, did you make a post when it was found that Obama was weaponizing the IRS against Republican organizations?
You’re a guy that just follows what other black people tell you to do since you can’t think for yourself.
