LEGAL PILLAGING: Federal Officials Blasted for Spending $3.3 BILLION on Office Furniture While Employees Worked from HOME
The Democrats aren’t just mocking and laughing at you, they are raping you and destroying your children’s future. Americans can’t pay for rent, food, fuel but you sit there and continue to play nice.
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.

Federal officials have been criticized after splashing $3.3 billion on swanky new office furniture during the pandemic, when almost all staff worked from home.
The egregious spending habits of the US government included almost $250,000 on solar-powered picnic tables for the CDC, and $120,000 on plush Ethan Allen leather chairs.
A bombshell watchdog report found that over $1 billion a year was spent on lavish décor for federal spaces between 2020 and 2022, while just a fraction of employees made their way into the office amid Covid-19 lockdown restrictions, according to the New York Post.
Revelations over the huge splurge come as lawmakers in Congress have sparred in recent months over unfettered federal spending as the government teeters over a shutdown.
