EPA’s fondness for high-end furniture costs taxpayers $92 million

ACC– Better hope none of the furniture was made from tropical hardwood. But given the prices paid for some of this stuff how could it not be?

I really think that with stories like this there is a good bit of envy of people in the private sector. I once talked with a senior manager in government who lamented that given the number of people he managed he should be paid more. In the private sector a manager on his level might make 3 times as much. But I argued that in the private sector there was more risk and that since this fellow was employed by the taxpayers his pay was factored using a fundamentally different equation.

Let’s just say we agreed to disagree.

And I am sure some people at the EPA look at the offices of some of the companies they regulate and think, “Hey, you know I deserve an $800 pencil holder too. I’m as smart as they are. I went to the right schools.”  more here

  1. I think it tells you something about people who aspire to go to work for the federal government.
    and with the raising of the minimum wage where else are the black citizens going to go to work if not the federal or state government?
    every time the minimum wage gets raised the black unemployed number increases as well.
    and don’t think the msm and the politicians don’t know this.

  2. That little fat, white haired guy that runs the EPA is not real good at budgeting either it would appear. That 92 million could have been used to clean up the “yellow” river the EPA caused. The Environmental Pollution Agency is a waste of taxpayer money….Defund it, have a yard sale for the furniture and get it over with.

  3. The point of the FedGov is to steal from those who work and piss it away on themselves.

    Congress has custom made shit every election cycle. We had a Carpenter Shop and a Paint Shop that stayed busy every minute of every day trying to keep those fuckers happy. Our Property people were always jumping, too.

    Committee Rooms got makeovers every time they changed Chairman. This one had to have a Walnut Dais and Crown Molding and that one had to have Cherry.

  4. Stupid assholes.

    My one-bedroom apartment is to-die-for gorgeous, and my secret weapons for beautiful decor are eBay and thrift shops. Also antiques fairs if I can get someone with a car to drive me.

    @MikitantFenwick and I will be happy to sign on as interior decor consultants for any government agency that could use our services.
