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.

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

For years, I made my lunch at home and “brown bagged” it to work. That’s maybe 1/5 the cost of fast food options — and even less than a sit down restaurant.. Apparently Congressional staffers would rather STARVE than stoop to such menial tasks.
But thank you, Congressional idiots, for so ably demonstrating how terribly out of touch you are with America.
There are 107,000 federal employees who are derelict on their Federal Taxes. In the private sector we have the term garnishment. All of these taxpayer feeders think there are owed a lifestyle and lifetime employment.
You could fund WH tours and Easter Egg rolls for 260 years if they would just have these “federal deadbeats” “pay their fair share” as DWS says that none of you private sector people are doing. Time to unite or give up the torch as a pinnacle nation.
John,
Two questions:
1. Do you have a source for the 107,000 figure you cited?
2. How many private sector employees are derelict on their taxes?

From the article above…
“Overall, the 9.8 million workers included in the data had a delinquency rate of 3.2 percent. That’s better than the general public. The IRS says the delinquency rate for the general public was 8.2 percent.”
So, in fairness, the private sector deadbeats are beating the public ones.
The story was on a Greta show on FOX news and I had heard it before as well

The GAO issues a report each year and the last one that I saw said that there were 1500 programs at the federal level that are duplicative, fragmented and ineffective.
The taxpayers are all like frogs in a pot of warm water all being boiled to death slowly, time to unite and make a difference
