Couldn’t Biden share some of his half million dollar a night hotel money?

The Democrats must be literally out of their minds. Whining about a tiny reduction in spending. It makes them look like incompetents - which they are.

Thanks to Debbie and her group thinkers, in the real world the rest of us have been paying those prices for about 4 years.

Wouldn't surprise me if taxpayers aren't subsidizing the Congressional cafeteria!

Bring in some Hormel Spam and Penne Pasta meals

Of course, any pork product would be appropriate.

Good grief, just eat one of them. You’ll reduce your payroll and they’ll have a decent meal, maybe two.

Hopefully that was directed for Wasserman-Schultz and not me :^)

A little suffering is good for the soul. I think most of these “staffers” SHOULD miss a few meals. Maybe they’ll understand what the rest of us out here are going through as we transition to socialism/communism.

This really is stupid.

Does she realize that we all are suffering from rising food prices, rising fuel prices and rising taxes.
Has she even given one thought to finding a way to reduce our tax burden?
Of course the Capitol Hill Kitchens are subsidised.I doubt she has a staffer making less money than I do.About $40,000 a year.

According to virtualglobetrotting, this is at least ONE house owned by the "friend of the poor and downtrodden" Debbie Blabbermouth Schmuck. Nice pool house....or is that a servant's quarters?

Link: http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/debbie-wasserman-schultzs-house/view/?service=1

Add to that the reports that Debbie Blabbermouth has ANOTHER home, a vacation home, in New Hampshire....and spent $30,000 on a cruise....and it sure looks like Debbie Blabbermouth has plenty of coin to spread to those starving staffers.

Come to think of it, Debbie Blabbermouth has to have a place to sleep in D.C. when she is there trying to destroy our Constitution...so I wonder where she lives there? Is it in a fancy hotel suite, like Dingy Hairy Reed?

Oh, cry me a fracking river-too damn bad-I make my own lunch every day-from fresh, unprocessed food-for less than $2.00-and I’m no elitist, just country raised on home grown food. If I can pack a lunch and eat it under a tree, so can those whiners...

This would be a good opportunity for compassionate citizens to flood Wasserman’s office with packs of Ramen noodles.
