Peeling Back America’s Coup – What Will It Take?
A fire broke out at a munitions plant in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Minimal damage. No deaths. The plant is owned by the Federal Government via Taxpayer money – and General Dynamics uses the facility to make munitions for – Ukraine. Silly me – I thought our Federal Government needed money to make munitions for America – according to Justifiable – Mike Johnson. General Dynamics share price was $9 thirty years ago – $78 ten years ago and $285 today; an increase of 3,167%. They claim their backlog orders as of 12/23 is the highest ever at $93.6 billion ($21 billion unfunded) on annual income averaging in the $46-$50 billion range. They report an inventory value of $8.6 billion.
So where are all these munitions? The US claims its stockpile inventory is depleted… so where did the annual $50 billion go? Since American Taxpayers are funding them – why don’t we get the entirety of their Net Profits? Have all these munitions been sent to Ukraine? Shouldn’t we be kept apprised given we are defacto shareholders
This is what Mike Johnson is pushing for – more money from taxpayers to give to the Military Industrial Complex to produce weapons for Ukraine and Israel. For Free. And this is just ONE entity.
Outside of the General Dynamic CEO salary package of $22.6 million per year, the top 4 executives salary packages total near $30 million. General Dynamic has no less than eleven members on the Board of Directors all receiving compensation packages over $320,000. Why would they need a Board of Directors if GD works for the Federal Government? And why do American Taxpayers pay exorbitant CEO and executive salaries far greater than the President of the United States – for a company we fund?
Certainly, there is private industry freedom – but General Dynamics and the Federal Government claim they are partners.
This is the ‘financial arrangement’ brokered by a slew of Lawyers, aka Congress. (I don’t recommend their legal services). And
