Also if they want to find waste and abuse of govt funding look to all local housing authorities.

That does seem a tad extravagant and wasteful..

Disgraceful if true. He needs to get his idiot wife and kid in line.

If true, that’s some bullshite right there

As long as he paid for it and not the government then who cares. Dude is a brain surgeon. I hope he’s got money in the bank.
ETA: looks like government bought it. frick that.

What did previous other HUD offices spend?
Plus I want to see the breakdown of what was purchased and did it include labor costs to remove the old and deliver the new.
5k seems like a very low limit. We aren't talking about grandma's dining room set.

Looks like the taxpayer paid for it.

That moment when you try to defend a government agency for spending $31k on a dining room set for a Secretary’s office

That’s disgusting if true. Hopefully Trump hammers him for it.

The article doesn't even scratch the surface on anything.
ITT Carson has already been accused of living ghetto fab. Leftists calling a black man ghetto fab
This is nothing but a dog whistle which all of you came running to begging for a milk bone.

I like Carson but some of you guys are such fricking hacks

Seems kind of racist, to me. To single out the black guy.

To wonder why you never really saw any stories like this for 8 years, then all of a sudden? I'd like to see extensive audits of every cabinet agency going back 20 years. Let's pull the curtain back on it alll and turn off the spigots.

Agree with you 100%

As long as it stays behind when he leaves, I have no problem. The Clintons tried to gut the White House of the stuff they bought with government money when they left!
Posted on 2/27/18 at 7:44 pm to cajunangelle
Send him packing.
Didn't he already frick up?
Something with his kid or something getting a contract?

What was the cost of replacing every executive office keyboard with a missing 'W'?
