When there isn’t anyone counting the free tax dollars flowing in, its easy to see how the Pentagon has gone from $2.3 trillion to over $9 trillion U.S. tax dollars. Lost, can’t find, don’t know where it went? Looks like some in up in the toilet and the rest in a bank account somewhere? Why is the U.S. having debt problems? Wasted and unaccounted spending by the military industrial complex, for anything and everything. Easy to spend other peoples money.
The Air Force has admitted to spending a whopping $10,000, a piece, to replace toilet seat covers, in an expense that is being widely criticized, on a Vietnam-era C-5 Galaxy cargo plane. The reasoning behind the astronomical price tag is that the plane is no longer in production, so custom parts come at a custom price, with the government purchasing the latrine covers at that cost at least three times- and as recently as just last year.

They didn’t really pay that much for the toilet seats. They just used the invoice to launder the embezzlement.
Hell, I’d make them for $9,500. Some genius GS-11 procurement puke needs to be executed.
$14.99 at Home Depot. Basic white
That is how they pay for area 51 research. At least according to INDEPENDENCE DAY.
I want to see the toilet seat. Does it resemble the likeness of Obama? Or was it custom made to fit a Clinton A$$?
Nope, black ops and off the books R&D.
BS. I bought one at Menards for $7.
The linked artile has a link to the original article that states the part is being 3D printed.
I rememberfunnels on C 119’s.
This. The remainder is used for the Black Ops Budget.
This is actually something I’d advocate the PRCs fabricate. It would cost what? $10 maybe at wholesale?-)
The Question on everyone’s mind is: How much do they pay for toilet paper
Their trying to tell us that piece of moulded plastic cist $10,000?
The wind tunnel testing alone probably runs $3-5K.
The ones at Home Depot don’t have rocket packs and parachutes in them. That’s gonna cost ya.
But ... it’s really good plastic.
