Debbie Wasserman Schultz: DC Staffers and STARVATION

The sequester is hitting DC staffers hard.

According to Democrat Debbie Wasserman Schultz, they are on the brink of starvation.

From the Washington Times:

Automatic federal cuts are bringing staffers to the brink of starvation, suggested Debbie Wasserman Schultz, at a recent House Legislative Branch Appropriations Subcommittee hearing.

Restaurants on the House side of Congress are increasing in cost so much that aides are being “priced out” of a good meal, she said, as Fox News reported. The comments came by way of a discussion about the impacts of the sequester on lawmakers’ office budgets.

...Just to clarify: An 8-ounce bowl of Ham and Bean soup at the Cannon Office Building’s carry-out café costs $2. A gourmet wrap or sliced bread sandwich sells for about $5. And in the Longworth Building’s sit-down cafeteria, a serving of stuffed chicken, asparagus and mashed potatoes sells for about $7, Fox News finds.

Meanwhile, Ms. Wasserman Schultz’s staffers earn between $60,000 and $160,000 per year, Fox News reports.

This woman cannot be taken seriously.

Joe Biden spends nearly $600,000 of our money on his hotel bill for a one-night stay in Paris, while staffers can't afford to eat.

Ridiculous. What a bunch of buffoons!

I wish Americans would wake the hell up.
