You never see anything wrong with Govt waste
This is first of all ILLEGAL. It's called COLLUSION and BID RIGGING.

I don't see this as waste, the SS has the duty to protect the VP.
I'd also be willing to wager that the SS is exempt from laws requiring contracts be put to bid. There's no way you can be responsive and provide security under such rules.
It sounds like the property is ideally located for the mission and has an established rental value. For the SS *not* to reimburse Biden could create a conflict of interest.
Unless the property was very difficult to rent or clearly not adequate for the task I'm not sure what the argument is.
Unless it's just to bitch.
