DNC Chair complains that her Capitol Hill aides are not making enough money

Reposted from Mike Flynn over at Breitbart to be filed under “completely out of touch”:

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.
 
There is also the tried and true method enjoyed by millions of workers around the country: a brown-bag lunch.
 
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.

One of the reasons that Democrats are so addicted to their reckless spending is that they really believe they are entitled to spend taxpayers’ money how they see fit. Americans all over the country are tightening their belts by cutting spending on things they can’t afford, but when it comes to Washington tightening its belt, Democrats refuse to be responsible.
 
Luckily, House Republicans passed a responsible plan proposed by Paul Ryan to cut spending and balance the budget within ten years. You can help us stand up to out of touch spenders like Debbie Wasserman Schultz and stand with Paul Ryan by co-signing his budget here.
