| qwerty123 User ID: 1280532 United States09/21/2011 06:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is the equivalent to the "government" on EBT cards imo and a slap in the face of we Americans trying to put food on our tables by a honest day's work. Our tax dollars goes to feed them muffins and cookies???? Quoting: starrynytes As the U.S. government grapples to find ways to trim the bloated federal deficit, a new report suggests officials might start with cutting out $16 muffins and $10 cookies. .."We found the Department (of Justice) spent $16 on each of the 250 muffins served at an August 2009 legal conference in Washington," said a DOJ Office of Inspector General report released on Tuesday.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1617744 No, catch the mugger and take back what is rightfully mine and anyone elses that the dirtbag has taken. Good luck with that! Wouldn't need luck with a mugger... :) the government, now that may be a little more difficult. In God I trust |

Everything they spend gets funneled to someone they know or owe a favor to (another gov't employee who went along with a vote--their sons bakery or something). |

This is why the US economy is dying. Greedy worker slaves. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1304106 I think the purchasers for the government needs to wake up and tell these greedy people thanks, but no thanks, and go elsewhere for their snacks. Duh! oh wait it doesn't come from their pockets... In God I trust |
Maybe they need to have those "medical" muffins to make better decisions!!
