Does that mean we saved a couple of hundred grand in coffee that wasn't consumed in places like Congress or the Pentagon?

Dude, we have to PAY for our coffee! We can't ride on the back of the tax payers (At least not at DHS) I dunno about the DoD guys - maybe they get free coffee.

We also have to join the "Water Club" to use the water coolers!

Do you think it's that way in Speaker Pelosi's office?

No way on the water cooler?

Do you have to pay to use the WC too?

I asked an IRS agent for his card last year. He said "I don't have one." He explained to me that the agents have to buy their own and he didn't want to spend the money. Career civil cervant. Guess he was proud of his place in the world? What do a box of cards cost? $15-20?
Guess that's govt. policy across the board?

Doesn't the booze come courtesy of the "contractors" or "lobbyists".
