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.
Why does this government office need to be opulent?

quote:The most expensive dining room set from a quick Google shopping search in DC is $21,344. There were 96 results for sets over $5,000 and only 15 were over $10,000. And there are 47 sets from $4000 to $4999 plus another 107 from $3000 to 3999.
5k seems like a very low limit. We aren't talking about grandma's dining room set.
So if he can’t manage to keep it anywhere $5000, and overspends by 630% then we can't expect him to manage to efficiently spend billions of dollars.

I'm satisfied with Dr. Carson's response:
Concrete vanilla balloon red puppy.....(nods off for ten seconds) tree basket sidewalk....

Its was 31k, not 5k.
Its not appropriate.
He needs a week in the rice paddies. His wife can stay in the paddies until she converts to compassion.
And if some stooge suggested it, may they find god.
Bad taste.

He wasn't trying to manage funds.
He was putting on.

No shite you fricking idiot. He needed congressional authority for anything over 5k. If it was nefarious why did they approve it.

Why do you need a dining set in your office?
Fraud, waste, abuse.
Get your head out of your arse, Ben.

Can you not read?

HUD officials reportedly did not request congressional approval for the purchase. The Times noted that federal law requires approval from lawmakers “to furnish or redecorate the office of a department head” if it exceeds $5,000.
Sleepy Ben might be in some trouble.
