Reading about all the dismay of the condition of food on board Amtrak Diners and the changes being forced on us made me wonder about what Congress is getting in they're dining rooms.
The first article on cost of running the dining rooms at the Senate from 2008 stated that in 44 years of operation there are only 7 years in which is didn't loose money. As of that year the loss was over 2 million.
The quality of food was also discussed and while some complaints are seen, many of the people get catered to with meals they particularly like. Also beyond that cost I see from a New York Post Article in 2013 which tells about "High Cost of Congressional Food and Drink on taxpayers Dough, raises questions.
Just a few examples of cost we picked up in the last quarter of that year came to Pelosi spending $3, 510 in three months on food. John Bohner spent $11,225 and most others had cost between those two levels.
Photos of the private Senate Dining rooms show luxurious surroundings reminiscent of dining cars in the turn of the previous century.
Maybe congress would learn something from having the exact food in their money losing restaurants we get onboard.
