How much did the military spend yesterday? $156 million
The big winner on Friday (sorry I missed posting this yesterday) was Iridium Satellite with a $44 million modification (increase) to an existing airtime contract. Overall, though, it was low spending day for the Defense Department.

I wonder how often the U.S. government breaks it’s spending records. Someone should look into it. I have a hunch the Guinness Book of World Records is behind it.
In both August and September there was one day that topped $30 billion.
