Jackie Speier (D-CA) on Thursday held up steak, vodka and caviar during her House floor speech in an effort to shame Republicans who want to slash $40 billion from the food stamp budget, while they continue to go on ‘lavish’ trips financed by taxpayers and other groups. Earlier this month, House Republicans introduced a bill that caved to conservative members and doubled the amount of cuts the party was proposing to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. ‘They dine at lavish restaurants, eating steak, vodka and even caviar,’ she added, showing food props to members of the House. ‘They receive money to do this. That’s right, they don’t pay out of pocket for these meals.'”
