We built a $43 Million Gas Station (Congress, Afghanistan, health care, military)

[middle-aged mom]

As we know, the US has been busy rebuilding Afghanistan after invading it. Appears the Pentagon managed to spend $ 43 million on a gas station that should have cost $500,000. Pentagon has no explanation.

'Colossal waste': DOD slammed for $43M, US-funded gas station in Afghanistan | Fox News

This sort of crap has been going on for serious decades.

They have never accounted for expenditures despite that it was necessary for Congress to pass a law requiring them to do so. This is not partisan.

This story was discussed long/months ago.. Correct, this is not a partisan issue. I doubt anyone will ever be held accountable other than the taxpayers.

We now have a government too big to be held accountable for anything.

Make America great again, MORE military spending!

The waste and spending may not be partisan but there's one party with that idea as a seemingly permanent plank in its platform.

If only the corruption and misspending were confined to just the military.
