Quote:Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., said Congress has had to reduce constituent services because of the sequester. "We're really starting to see the effects of that in our office," she said.

The cuts have also affected the quality of life for congressional aides, said Wasserman Schultz, whose defense of Capitol Hill staffers amid budget cuts has won her unofficial den mother status among many. At the hearing, for example, she said prices of meals in House restaurants are getting so high that aides are being "priced out" of a good meal.

FYI A meal can be had for less than 10$ and her staffers are all making six figures..

She could be referring to all the volunteers being priced out. When I graduated, I worked on the Hill as a volunteer. I guess working for no pay priced me out of many things.

Good deal. Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch.

Well, I haven't had breakfast yet. But I wouldn't say I'm "starving".

I thought volunteers are generally referred to as pages not aides.

Then walk out to the street in front of the "House restaurants" We used to call them cafeterias, now they're full blown restaurants? Posh, Must be nice.

Sesame noodles with steamed veggies, chunk of crusty bread with butter and a soda can be had for about 4 bucks. Or take your pick from the other 250 food vendors within a 3 block area.

Wasserman shultz is the poster child for moron.

How does this lying loon keep getting reelected?

Here is an idea. Bring a damn bag lunch to work like I do. It cost me less than 5 bucks a day. If this ***** thinks for a second that the average American has any sympathy for these people on the Hill?...She is horribly mistaken.

I honestly believe this broad is dumbest ***** in Washington. Every time she opens her mouth...stupidity spews from it.

Probably has something to do with the R's that run against her are even bigger loons.

That is impossible.

Guess I will fill up a shoe box and send it to Congress.
Wouldn't want anyone to starve.

Lies are the blood vampires who call themselves Dems live on.

It never crosses the minds of people like her who have their salaries financed by theft that they might have to do as most people do when their household budgets get tight. OH NO...The Horror.

That's a huge problem here in the DC region.

When I was a staffer, I made $22k a year and just about every penny of my second payroll each month went direct to rent.

No...It is some other reason.

Maybe Obama could send over the leftovers from his parties or the crap Moochelle grows in her garden.

Just like when Latrelle Spreawell said he couldn't afford to feed his family when he was getting paid in the millions.

Look, I only have so many shoe boxes to fill with food.
Don't make me have to choose between feeding a starving Congressional aide who only makes a six figure salary, or a former NBA basketball player who has children to feed, that he cannot see.

"Sprewell's career came to an unexpected end in 2005 when he refused a $21-million three-year contract offer from the Timberwolves, which he implied would not be enough to feed his children. Since that time, he has made headlines for grounding his million dollar yacht, having two of his homes foreclosed upon, and being prohibited from seeing his children."
