Follow the money trail and you'll see the confusion. When the Pentagon taxes the GIG budget substantially and other programs tax it heavily to support favored contractors as it moves through their domain, what is left for the people making the GIG happen is laughable. How do you build an operations center, buy furniture and equipment, and hire engineers to support the project with no money?
Face it, we're supporting a big war and several smaller police type actions at the moment. Planes and ships burn lots of fuel at prices well over $2.00 a gallon. So do armored Humvees. Bullets, bombs, and missiles get costly too.
Follow the money trail and see how much gets to where the rubber meets the road.
