Pruitt is surely just seeing how far he can push it

Add bulletproof seat covers to the list of items Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Scott Pruitt requested last year as additional security measures.

Pruitt upgraded his official car last June from the traditional Chevrolet Tahoe SUV to a higher-end Chevy Suburban with bullet-resistant covers over the car's bucket seats, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.

Bulletproof seat covers. Why? Because somebody in the car with him might try to shoot him? Actually, I suppose that's possible.

The new car was ordered last May and cost the government $10,200 for a one-year lease, according to federal spending records. Records show that EPA requested upgrades to the vehicle which included Wi-Fi, GPS navigation, second-row bucket seats and a leather interior. The upgrades were an additional $300 per month.

Pennies for a government as rich as ours.

Pruitt wanted the larger car because it was similar to those used by other Cabinet officials, a former EPA official told the Post.

The official said that the bulletproof seats, made of the same kevlar used in bulletproof vests, was approved by the head of Pruitt’s security detail, Pasquale “Nino” Perrotta.

Ah, yes. Nino.

And let's add insult to injury.

Federal records show that the government continued the lease on the 2014 Chevy Tahoe previously used by former EPA chief Gina McCarthy, but current and former staffers say the car has been sitting unused at EPA headquarters. The rental, renewed Feb. 2, 2017, cost more than $9,000.

There's more than one way to kill a government.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE:

Spend ALL the money.
