How much did the military spend yesterday? $1.4 billion

<center>http://geke.us/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/DefenseSpending.001.png</center>


Yesterday's big winner was a company called VT Halter Marine in Pascagoula, Mississippi. It's a ship building company that is both paid and punished by the federal government. The Labor Department fined the company for knowingly placing its employees in an unsafe environment back in 2009. Two of its employees were killed and five others were injured in a “preventable” explosion, according to then Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis. Regardless, the company continues to win Defense Department contracts, including the one yesterday worth $745 million.
