You've seen and heard Pentagon complaints that Bai-Den's war on Russia has seriously depleted the US inventory of weapons. But hey! That's only "national defense." There are other priorities:
The Pentagon is not short of high-end furniture to comfort the brass's asses!
Among all federal agencies, the least cost-conscious was The Pentagon, which marked the highest spending rate with a staggering $1.2 billion on new furniture.
How very nice.
Not that the Pentagon is alone.....
...Among the most maddening purchases was $237,960 spent on electric picnic tables to be installed at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offices in the 2020 to 2022 timeframe.
Similarly, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency spent almost $250,000 on high-end Herman Miller furniture.
The Environmental Protection Agency also forked out $6.5 million for new décor, despite reportedly moving to a far smaller 300,000 square foot office space in Pennsylvania at the same time.
Lavish interior design is not just for those near DC either, with upmarket leather reclining armchairs from Ethan Allen worth $120,000 deemed worth it for the US Embassy in Islamabad, Pakistan.
The watchdog pointed to one especially 'egregious example' sure to send frugal lawmakers wild, as the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation spent $15 million on new furniture - equivalent to $14,400 for each of its 1,000 employees. ...
Electric picnic tables? What the blazes do they do? Warm the tush during lunch?
McCarthy should have been bounced for this crap alone, never mind his lying and scheming.
