Hotel breakfast buffet for $16 is about average.
In any case there is a world of difference between $16 for all you can eat buffet and $16 for a single muffin.
Again, the daily 'outrage' story turns out to be a lot less than it appears to be. It is almost as if there was a concerted effort to distort information going on.
I feel better that for $16 the taxpayers were dishing out that the DOJ workers got more 'free' food than just muffins .. now that is some real savings there .. $16 is $16 dollars, unless of course one can rationalize that it was a real saving$ .... phpt! With such spending logic, no wonder the left has no idea of where the money is going.
I am equally impressed at how the left media sources can hunt down a story .. and then publish it a week or so after it happens .. .now Fast and Furious .. or Gun Walker ... now they aren't too fast at reporting at that sort of sizzling material ... and lefties .. they won't discuss it at all either, that death and lying to congress thing .. it's all a right wing conservative conspiracy .... however, they are ALL over the thrifty $16 continental breakfast that the DOJ workers got.
