The Defense Department spent $4.6 million on crab and lobster in September.
Federal employees spent $7.7 million on iPhones and iPads, the Executive Office of the President spent $26.8 million on items including furniture and newspaper subscriptions and the Department of Defense spent $4.6 million on crab and lobster in September 2018.
OpenTheBooks has previously reported on and advocated against yearly"use-it-or-lose-it" spending, which takes place at the end of each fiscal year. But the report noted that expenditures in 2018 far outpaced the amount spent just years ago. "When the purchases are made in a mad dash at year-end, the jaded taxpayer has a right to be skeptical. It was a $53 billion final week of blow-off spending by the federal agencies," Adam Andrzejewski, the CEO and founder of OpenTheBooks.com told Newsweek.
