It’s easy as hell to eat on $4.50 per day and congressmen who are trying the SNAP challenge are overpaying for groceries.

Donny

Donny Ferguson, Texas Congressjerk Steve Stockman’s communications director and agriculture policy adviser, announced that he walked his hiney down the street to the grocery store and bought enough food for a week “for just $27.58, almost four dollars less than the $31.50 “SNAP Challenge” figure.”

I don’t believe it.

I don’t think Donny understood that you have to eat all three meals off the $31.50 a week, and that fancy lunches with lobbyists don’t count nor do the donuts at the congressman’s morning coffee.

Congresswart Stockman and Donnie think SNAP recipients are eating high off the hog for $4.50 a day.  If that is true, then let’s make $4.50 a day the limit for reimbursing meals for traveling congressional staff. Huh, Donnie, how about them hot dogs?

Thanks to Brian C for the heads up.
