Come on, now. He can eat at his f*cking desk or the cafeteria like the rest of us. Spending $31k of taxpayers’ money on a private dining room table is ridiculous, and is exactly the type of government waste that this Administration should be stopping!
He might intend to have some lunch meetings with people who are important to his function. I can see that someone would say “Would you join me for lunch in my office?”
Seems like a good private way to talk and gives the guest a feeling of intimacy.
“So I don’t have any problem with a dining room in his office. And, $31k for dining furniture in a govt office is not really that much money.”
Are you daft?
He’s not a medieval Lord. Everyone else in DC manages to have lunch every day without a luxury dining room - if he can’t manage that then he is incompetent in the extreme. This expense, while minor in the big picture, is still an outrageous abuse of the Treasury.
No benefit came to the citizen or taxpayer in exchange for this private benefit extended to Carson.
This is an example of public corruption, for those who fail to recognize clear signs of it.
