On Tuesday, FL Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz and her colleague VA Rep. Jim Moran openly whined about the impacts of spending cuts on their personal office budgets. Moran fretted that, with the looming sequester cuts, he may have to cut one staffer from his office. Wasserman Schultz upped his ante, however. She, almost literally, suggested that her staff were on the brink of starvation, due to the cuts.
Speaking at a hearing of the House Legislative Branch Appropriations Subcommittee, Wasserman Schultz worried that prices of meals in House restaurants are getting so high that aides are being "priced out" of a good meal.
At the carry-out cafe in the Cannon Office Building, where Wasserman Schultz has her office, you can get an 8oz bowl of Ham and Bean soup for $2. You can buy gourmet sandwiches and wraps for around $5. Both of these are cheaper than I can get at delis down the street from my house.
Her aides could walk across the street to the Longworth Building, which has a large sit-down cafeteria. Today, it is featuring a roasted stuffed Chicken, with asparagus and mashed potatoes, for around $7. Or, one could opt for a heaping 12oz bowl of Chicken Chili for $3....

Maybe her banker husband could get his real estate developer clients to kick in a little extra graft.....
Ok, then if these people make 2 to 3 X what the average American makes and can not find enough money to find a decent meal, they should be fired for being totally ignorant and unworthy of what they are being paid.
Hey Debbie, ever hear of brown bagging it? I did that for years. Brown bagging is good for you. Teaches discipline, something you could shirley use.
Buy them some M.R.E.’s
2000 calories and you can heat then if they desire.
Then give them food stamps.
If the Wide-Hipped Witch would just cut her ***Hair Mayonnaise*** Budget in half, that would free-up $5-6,000/mo for the poor, bloated, underworked, fat-assed staff’s 5-course lunches.
And if Moron went into detox/rehab, his ***Office Scotch Budget*** would easily drop $10-13,000/mo. His gold-plated insurance policy should cover the liver transplant, instead of taking it from Office Petty Cash.
Tiny violins. No pity. Lose some weight, you underworked, grosssly-overpaid, do-nothing lardasses.
Pigs squealing because the food trough is missing fillet mignon’s.
I have no doubt that this skank Wasserman will see no correlation between her office facing the effects of sequestration “cuts”, and the small business owner who faces “cuts” when he is forced to pay pimple-popping teenager an increased “minimum wage”.
Can't. They don't qualify, they're paid too much.
Wasserman Schultz's top aide earns around $160k a year. She pays two additional aides around $120k a year. She has five additional aides who earn between $60-100k a year.
Heheheh! Yes,we should take donations and send a bunch of MREs to her office.
The woman is from my state. I’ve got some extra coupons. Maybe I should send them to her office. Every little bit helps!
Hard to believe how out-of-touch with the American people the (so-called) ‘Party of the People’ can be. Obviously not meant to be read by people saving money, so we can pay our #@*$ing taxes.
Good job Breitbart. The DC swine can do what the rest of us do: make their own damned lunches.
It sounds to me like they can afford good meals just fine.
Maybe she should pay them with food instead.
He’s been here since before 9/11 and you basically got here yesterday. Please sit back down at the kiddie table and be quiet.

Too many calories, and only if the soda is less than 16oz.
He runs a tight ship and doesn't want to WASTE TAXPAYER DOLLARS.
They could fund a whole bunch of White House Tours and pay for Fat Ass Debbie's emaciated Employees to have anything they want off the McDonalds Dollar Menu with the money Senator Rand Paul saved the Taxpayers of this Country.
What part of Florida are you frkm?
How many families aren’t getting ‘good meals’because the price of food is outrageous?
