And $6,000 screwdrivers, $30,000 toilet seats, etc. Seriously you don't believe those vehicles cost that much do you? Like anything else the government gets its hands on, it's a grift. I wouldn't trust a government contractor to tell the truth about actual costs if their life depended on it.
Even if this equipment cost this much (which it doesn't), as the programs on the domestic front are shut down and the federal government returns to its very limited stasis, monies collected from taxes on the states, federal gas tax, etc. would pay for the Armed Forces.
People have been over that. There are other factors that make the d@mn things so expensive. It isn’t graft (mostly).
