Numerous news sources cited there were 5 rugs total, amounting to some $39K. 2 of the rugs which came to $21k were Turkish patchwork rugs... A 10x10 and a 10x15. Both can be had online in the neighborhood of $2K a piece shipped to the states. For just these pieces alone, there's $17k discrepancy for what could have been taxpayer "savings"... Guess favors in campaign funding are good in the long run. This was a rug burn.

Yet another clear example of wasteful governmental spending, especially amid the high-level of unemployment and an economy on life-support systems.

If you look closely, you will see people going about their daily lives with this attitude and with the thinking of how this recession is not effecting them, just because they still work.
