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....

These pontificating lieing LIB asshats are too much. She (and her staff) should be happy they aren’t tarred & feathered and run out of town on a rail. Cry me a river, debbie. You should be in prison.
Remember that it is the “professional” staffs “supporting” our elected representatives that accomplish most of the work. How else could our representatives generate 1,000 page bills in a few weeks? Remember that Nancy P, as speaker of the house, told us we had to pass ObamaCare so we could find out what was in it. If true, who wrote the bill, not those who we elected!
I don’t know what she calls a good meal, all I know is she can damn sure root up a whole lot of pasture while she is looking for it.
Most of the reps. from Massachusetts upped the salaries of their staff before sequester.
So why doesn’t she pay them more? She is the employer, isn’t she?
Stupid people don’t belong in government leadership - so why do they seem to gravitate there?
or she could learn to cook
Holy crap.
Are you just making those numbers up?
If so, very funny, if not holy crap.
Imagine the hardship her unpaid interns are facing.
How did you get so rich being so dumb? Are you that kind of girl, too?
The head of the Dem party continues her deceit and fraud. Lying is the only form she and her fellow travellers know. Every word is a lie. Count on it.
let them eat the same sh** we do
I get $1094 a month on Soc Sec.
I had frozen SS for 3 years, as did about 42 million Americans.
Food, Gas, heat & power costs went up during those years.
I am still paying for my living costs. I have decent meals & I don’t go out to eat anymore.
DWS could probably save ovder $8000 a year on hair care if she shaved her head.
huh...she must be using imported mayonnaise I guess.
Do it!
I made them up — but I figured they’d be accurate for the bloated egos of DWS and her staff.
