Hegseth's $93B Spending: Luxury Tabs, Criticism

0:00From Hollywood to the world, this is entertainment and celebrity news today. Defense Secretary Pete Heggsteff is facing major backlash after his department spent $93 billion in September, the end of the fiscal year. This huge sum went toward unusual purchases like $2 million on a Laskin king crab, nearly $7 million on lobster tails and $15 million. On ribeye steaks, plus ice cream machines, donuts, furniture, and even a nearly $100,000 grand piano for an Air Force chief. Critics say the spending shows waste, especially since agencies often rush to use budgets or lose them next year, with most of the money also going to. Grants and contracts. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer slammed it on social media, comparing the amount to three years of Affordable Care Act tax credit extensions and, calling Heggsteff the Director for buying fruit baskets and recliners instead of helping with health care costs.
