US Senators Eating Subsidized Meals From Irish Linen And China While Americans Skip Food

Luxury at my expenseThere are 100 U. S. Senators in Washington DC they have their own fancy food service and dining room complete with fine linens, and tableware. Plus a cafeteria and coffee shop that have combined to lose over $17 million since 1993 and a million this year alone.

Finally these fiscal geniuses and privileged few want to privatize it so the highly paid federal employees who staff it can be fired, and money saved – but they still expect to pay a pittance for expensive meals and service but now they can blame it on some smuck who has to cater to these first class hypocrites.

The House of Representatives has a similar deal, run by a private vendor. But, the Congressmen’s meals are also subsidized. On more than one occasion money has been hidden inside other bills to keep Congress, and staff on this modern day grain dole. Hypocrisy.
