VA HOSPITAL BOUGHT $311,000 IN TVS “BECAUSE THEY HAD FUNDS AVAILABLE:”  Taxpayers give bureaucrats money so bureaucrats can spend it just because they have it. That’s apparently the attitude the prompted officials at the Department of Veterans Affairs Detroit hospital to buy $311,000 worth of TVs that were never used and ended up in storage.

Luke Rosiak of the Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group reports that the TVs were bought in 2013 and intended for use in a new patient area to be constructed. Three years later and the new patient area has yet to be built and the warranties on the unused TVs have expired.
