Other costly items cited in the report included a $32-per-person snack break consisting of Cracker Jacks, popcorn and candy bars, $7.32 Beef Wellington hors d\u2019oeuvres, $10 cookies and $5 Swedish meatballs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A $76 lunch? I was happy on the days that I could sneak into the Heritage Foundation and snag a ham&#8217;n cheese sandwich and a Sprite. WTF costs $76 that you could eat for lunch? Add to it the $32 snack break &#8211; that&#8217;s feeding an already obese lawyer-type a hundred bucks worth of chow. <\/p>\n<p>But the real problem is that them damn soldiers are actually using that free health care which we promised them.<\/p>\n<p>So this is going to be Holder&#8217;s legacy on this blog.
