As Hodja said - highly doubt he was personally shopping for a dishwasher.  And many appointed officials are confused by the approvals process when they first enter government, I doubt he failed to get approval on purpose.  As far as him saying he was "not qualified" for the job - many non-government people are surprised and overwelmed by the magnitude of their responsibilies once they get in office.  I think feeling that you "aren't qualified" is a thought that goes through many department heads minds in the beginning.  Most don't express it in public, so I find his confessioin refreshing.  

You do realize that he was likely limited to certain government approved vendors to make his purchase - so you do not know the price range that was avaiable to whomever was doing the selecting.  No one ever said that the acquisiton process of dishwashers or F-35 jets is cost efficient. 

But at this point, I find an $8000 dishwasher small potatoes when I think of how much money Democrats are wasting every day by not doing their jobs for the American people, because they insist on -reinvesting something that taxpayers money has been spent on for the past two years, in an effort to keep Trump from bing relected, because they don't have a strong candidate to run.  As a taxpayer, this angers me very much- but then it also makes me laugh at the Democrats desperate actions.
