Say $300 a month pay, for 3,000 people = $10,800,000 a year, just for pay. 9000 meals per day at six bucks per = $54,000 per day x 365 = $19,710,000 for groceries. Total $30,510,000 before buying weapons, ammunition, transportation, equipment, and clothing. Who's writing the checks? Why aren't they being traced and the writers terminated?
