<center>http://geke.us/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/DefenseSpending.001.png</center> Yesterday, Raytheon received four awards from the Defense Department, one of which was worth half a billion dollars. This award was a modification, an *increase* to a two-year-old contract originally worth $371 million. This isn't the only increase that original contract, which is now valued at $962 million. Raytheon is in the lead for September awards, nearing the $2 billion mark. Yesterday's breakdown: BAE: $18,220,758 (1 contract, 1 modification) Boeing: $230,992,635 (2 modifications) Booz Allen Hamilton: -- General Dynamics: -- Lockheed Martin: $379,599,365 (2 contracts, 1 modification) Northrop Grumman: $375,792,189 (1 modification) Raytheon: $580,704,797 (2 contracts, 2 modifications) September to-date totals: BAE: $1,164,659,178 Boeing: $602,932,402 Booz Allen Hamilton: $286,765,526 General Dynamics: $400,229,812 Lockheed Martin: $948,383,591 Northrop Grumman: $1,634,109,904 Raytheon: $1,754,863,735 <h6>*This information is provided to highlight just how much taxpayer money is spent, per day, to enrich companies participating in the military industrial complex. The idea that our economy requires a governmental redistribution of wealth from individual taxpayers to large corporations that are friendly and well-connected to government came from the Keynesian argument for demand “stimulus” -- that our economy's health depends on higher and higher levels of spending. For this reason, personal saving is discouraged and often penalized by the government. But because individuals still tend to follow personal incentives to save, the Keynesian argument remains in effect: that government should spend money the public is reluctant to spend through tax-and-spend policies.*</h6> ------------------------------------------------------------------- <center> <h3>Below are the contracts awarded by the Defense Department September 23, 2019 totaling <b>$2,197,590,679</b></h3> <h4>Recent record daily spending: $17 billion on August 5, 2019</h4> </center> <h3>Navy - $970,289,583</h3> Lockheed Martin Aeronautics (Ft.
