In reply to the discussion: Pete Hegseth's Defense Department blew $22M on steak and lobster in a single month, watchdog claims [View all]BumRushDaShow
(168,866 posts)49. For LBN, we have to use the "original" headline as the title of the OP
and in this case, MEDIAite chose to focus on one aspect of the EOY spending - i.e., certain purchased meals. This was most likely because the heads of 45's departments have abused and wasted taxpayer money FOR THEMSELVES (personally) when it came to "meals" and dining out, most likely getting exceptions to the set MIE limits that regular civil servants have to abide by.

Use it or lose it at the end of a fiscal period leads to a lot of this kind of spending - this seems over the top

At $22 per steak that's a million steaks. Even at $44 per steak that is a half million steaks.
