In reply to the discussion: Pic Of The Moment: Report: Chris Christie Spent $300,000 On Food And Drinks [View all]Cyrano
(15,388 posts)4. Over five years that comes to about $165/day
That's a lot if he was just doing pizza and beer. But if he was dining daily at gourmet restaurants, I guess it doesn't seem all that bad. (Who the hell dines daily at gourmet restaurants?)
Nonetheless, I really don't want to hear him and the rest of the GOP bitch about people who have to live on food stamps while they have their snouts in the public trough.

Given stadium food prices, that could be a slice of pizza and a couple pints of beer.
