Why?

Health and Human Services, Department of Education, National Weather Service, Social Security Administration...what do they have in common? All Paper pushers.....what have they been doing? BUYING massive amounts of weapons and ammunition and body armor.....why? I have no freakin idea.  

Edit Update:  I spoke to a friend of mine who reminds me that Government Budgets are strange animals, some times one Department will utilize the unused monies in anothers coffers to cover for shortages in their own So this might just be a case where one hand is paying the other.  Still looks strange and Homeland Security buying nearly a BILLION rounds of ammo???  Wow.....Maybe they could lend some of that to the DoD now that they are gutting National Defense.
