The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) spent more than $3.5 million on furniture the day before the government shutdown, according to a Daily Caller analysis of government purchasing records.

VA spent $7,559,675 on September 30, the last day the government was fully operating before this month’s partial shutdown.

The State Department, supposedly, spent $5M on crystal for the Embassies.

Together with the Dept. of Veterans Affairs, the total outgo would be $8.5M.

You could create a clinic in Philadelphia which would help more people with that $8.5M.
