The REAL scandal is not the $16 muffins or $8.25 cups of coffee, it is that spending by DOJ under ERIC HOLDER for conferences went up by OVER 53% from what it was under Bush Administration.
Just as Barry uses AF1, the White House, and the US TREASURY as his personal piggy bank, it seems Holder has the same regard for taxpayers money over at the Dept of Justice.
Ol Barry claimed he was going to go through the budget line by line to identify waste and save money. Just as he and Holder claim to be clueless about Fast and Furious, it seems they are as clueless about the enormous waste of taxpayer $ on gov't employee junkets.

I'm sure those are legitimate costs. The Obama DOJ presumably goes only to unionized venues where it costs $45 to turn on the lights, and $150 to run an extension cord. The coffee is a bargain at the price quoted.

how many SEIU members does it take to make a pot of coffee?We don't know yet. As soon as they turn it on and it starts to work, somebody yells "Scab!" and hits it with a baseball bat.

$16 muffins!!
WOW
If Mz Obama sneaks into these meetings and starts woofing down $16 muffins, this might end up requiring another increase to the debt ceiling.

Just another way for the SEIU to funnel taxpayer money to Democratic campaigns.

I paid $8.00 for a cup of coffee at a Gloria Jean's in an airport in Istanbul. My only excuse is that it was early, and without the caffeine, I couldn't calculate the exchange rate... :0(
