Automatic federal cuts are bringing staffers to the brink of starvation, suggested Debbie Wasserman Schultz, at a recent House Legislative Branch Appropriations Subcommittee hearing.

Restaurants on the House side of Congress are increasing in cost so much that aides are being

Maybe their bosses should buy their lunch for them.

Note to staffers....

Bag your lunch...

Bring in some Hormel Spam and Penne Pasta meals. You don’t have to refrigerate them and they nuke in 60 seconds in the office microwave.

That’s good eating right there, unless you are too elite to eat processed meat.

Gee, I been brown bagging it just about my whole life. I don’t consider it any kind of sacrifice, it’s just common sense.

My grandfather made $1056 dollars in 1939, and he had two kids. That works out to about $17,000 in 2011 money.

Cry me a river, you greedy, grasping, worthless pig.

Will Sally Struthers be doing commercials on thier behalf?

Restaurants on the House side of Congress are increasing in cost so much that aides are being “priced out” of a good meal,

So let's raise taxes on everybody and print another few tons of money. That should fix it.

... unless you are too elite to eat processed meat.

Pssst, she's Jewish. I'd say the odds that she keeps kosher are about a gazillion to one against.

Where can I find the video of this?

Ramen Noodles.

Let them eat the dollar menu.

I got a better ideer. Let’s burn half of the corn crop in the United States as an inferior, more polluting and more expensive substitute for petroleum. Can’t possibly affect food prices.

Starving gov staff workers.....and the problem is????

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

She would pass counter productive and ill considered laws that destroy small businesses that support millions of families, but squeals like a stuck pig when her overstuffed courtiers have to brown bag their lunches.

Has America really come to this?

[IM2MAD]

I wonder if the 60K staffers even work in DC. My thought is they work/answer the phones at her offices in Florida.

[Mouton]

Well, while the sequester may starve her staff, her voice kills my sense of hearing and her face destroys my optic nerve.
