Hillary: Require All to Eat in Senate Restaurants

I promise that if she will just go away, I will let her go in peace.

A week after the Senate decided, in a late-night voice vote, to privatize its money-losing food service operation, former Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton introduced rival legislation to “nationalize" the Senate restaurants and to require every member and their staff to patronize these fine government-run facilities.”
Sen. Clinton said the operation has lost $18 million in the last 15 years while serving its relatively-wealthy clientèle, and immediately needs $250,000 in taxpayer cash just to make next month’s payroll, because the Senate “failed to mandate participation.”
“Convenient, prepared meals are a fundamental birthright,” said Sen. Clinton. “But this basic entitlement can’t work unless everyone eats every meal in a Senate restaurant.”
Meanwhile, across Capitol Hill, the House food service operation pays the government $1.2 million annually from the profits of its popular restaurants. It was privatized in the 1980s.
“We should not draw the conclusion that private enterprise works better than government,” said Sen. Clinton, “rather we need to boost taxes on the obscene windfall profits of the House restaurants to subsidize the Senate operation.”
