Pentagon Feeling It At The Pumps Too

You're not the only one feeling pain at the pump. The Pentagon is facing more than a Billion dollar deficit in its fuel accounts -- even if oil prices remain steady! DoD Comptroller and Chief Financial Officer Robert Hale tells This Week in Defense News that the cost of fuel for the military is a serious problem. Federal Times reports the Pentagon spends about $16 Billion a year on fuel. If prices stay where they are now, officials expect to add another $1 Billion to $1.5 Billion to that price tag.
