[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 3838279, member: 42584"] The comment I made (#68) is neither in defense of our government nor is it a "conspiracy theory" but simply a fact about how our government agencies deal with their fiscal needs. Every agency submits a budget request through the General Accounting Office (GAO) requesting funds for that agencies operation during the [B]upcoming/next [/B]fiscal year, with an eye towards always requesting more than they know they will need. Any monies returned as not spent to the GAO at the end of the current fiscal year will automatically be deducted from the next fiscal years budget request. That is why agencies will spend [for example] $600. for an aircraft toilet seat (Air Force) or for a $500. bore brush (Army Artillery) . . . or contract for millions of rounds of ammunition, even if there is no foreseeable need for it. The government mantra is simply 'Spend it or lose it'. If any "conspiracy theories" exists it's the idea that our government is stocking-up on ammunition in order to slaughter Millions of American citizens in some future 'civil war', or that most Walmarts will be turned into FEMA camps for political prisoners.
