        That's just ridiculous... There are more important things for our government's money to be spent on such as CHIP and the homeless or the veterans that are suffering in poverty or that need therapy after war? NOT a damn desk that no one even uses...

        Carson was given the opportunity to be a shining star, instead he opted to be a national embarrassment. Grand larceny is a felony, surely there is a prison in need of a physician.

        I don’t care who requested it. It should have been denied and there should be clear budgeted allowance - should be cut and dry. And if a government decorating budget allows for a 31000 table, Then there is a whole bunch of fat to be trimmed there.

        How is this ok? What are the consequences for such arrogance and stupidity? How dare these people spend our tax dollars on such unnecessary items.

        That money could be used for the payment of children that need mental health services that their family cannot afford and insurance won't cover. No dining room set is worth that much when our kids lives are at stake.

        If Carson, who is a doctor doesn’t give a hoot, why should anyone else in Trumpland care?

        Because money and guns are not our future. The children are our future and deserve to have the care needed to ensure that their future is as bright as possible.

        And nothing will be done about it because Trump and Republican cronies are the new Teflon people; nothing sticks to them.
