If they wasted $16 million, of course! I don't have the exact breakdown between administrations and I ain't about to go through that list to do it. Feel free if you like and have the time.

As I said, I don't remember seeing this thread originally. And contrary to your apparent belief, I'm not required to post about every thing I disagree with Obama on as I don't expect you to post on everything you disagree with trump on...if there even is anything.

However, I'm sure the original poster just "missed" this part too when blaming all this on the current (at the time) administration, right?

Quote:A new report alleges that the Department of Veterans Affairs spent $20 million between 2004 and 2014 on costly artwork.

Report: VA Spent Millions on Costly Art as Veterans Waited for Care

Line by line expenditures, by total value

Don't go down this line they will just say that 16 of the 20 was during the Obama years.

Included the Bush years when Democrats controlled senate

The Senate does not spend the VA money. The VA does. And the head of the VA would have been a Bush appointee.

Right? So, $16million wasted on art is ok, but $30K to replace furniture that was purchased in 1967 is so horrendous.


Team over country.

This post is completely ridiculous. Again, hate to crush your delusions of grandeur, but I try to read as little as possible of what you post for obvious reasons.

Hell, I hope they let him out of timeout soon.

So, Ben Carson's $30,000 HUD story was been found to be FAKE NEWS, yet the left are still griping about it. Yet, Obama's VA spent $16million on art, and nary a word from them.

Team over country.

Its sad that the loser lefties try so hard for a victory against Trump, yet time and time again they are left with reality that it turns out to be fake news. And yet Obama's incompetence continues to be proven true.

And no the HUD story was not fake news. They ordered the set and then rescinded the order after the cost was made public. I'm assuming my thread title saying their spending was out of control is what was deemed fake. Although Gowdy is still investigating.

Apologies to the board, I had put a question mark on my thread title originally, but must have mistakenly removed it when I adjusted the title before I finally posted it.

And I'm still waiting for your link proving that $16 million of the $20 million was spent under Obama as the link in your original post says the expenses began in 2004.

Sen. Chuck Grassley, the leading taxpayer watchdog in Congress, revealed Friday that the Veterans Administration has spent $20 million on art since 2004 — $16 million during the Obama years — even as it was cutting services to war veterans.

Thank you.

And as I said before, this is wrong and should not be taking place. And I've been on record as being in favor of going through all government agencies looking for these types of abuses. However, I've also said that such investigations are going to likely cost money to undertake...especially in places like welfare abuse. The issue is whether the searching for abuse will actually be less than the abuse they find.

I'm also on record as saying Obama's handling of the VA was the worst part of his presidency. Noting that it was one area that the republicans could have actually made some hay against him on...instead, they chose to focus on nonsense like his birth certificate, etc.

I'd say the birth certificate was the best part of his presidency. Except for the exploits of Seal Team SIX.
