Pentagon's coronavirus plan includes millions for missile tubes and body armor

The Pentagon plans to devote billions of dollars in new defense spending to vaccine development, medical supplies, and financial help for defense contractors as part of an ambitious plan to address the coronavirus pandemic, according to documents obtained by The Washington Post.

But critics say the department is moving too slowly to spend the money as the pandemic enters its fifth month. Ten weeks after President Trump invoked wartime production powers to address deep medical supply shortages, only 15 percent of that funding has been placed under contract. The department received $10.5 billion in Cares Act funding to address the crisis, and had spent about $2.65 billion as of Wednesday afternoon, a department spokesman said.

And questions remain about whether those funds are being spent appropriately; among $1 billion allocated to the Defense Department under the 1950 Defense Production Act, $668 million will be used to address weakness in the military supply chain that largely predates the current crisis.

Although the Pentagon’s spending report was delivered a month ahead of its congressional deadline, there is a broader concern that the federal government is moving too slowly to address the crisis.

2. They want people to die

And too few in positions of power have the guts to say NO! And take those monies back until they are used properly.

Obscenely rich people will take and take unceasing because they are like tapeworms sucking out all the money until people die. That's what they want.
