(9,895 posts)Screw THAT...make them eat the generic rip-off version that I had to survive on in college...TOP RAMEN is actually quite close to inedible by comparison...
Screw it, just give them catfood instead.....the really nasty, yellow juicy kind that smells horrible!

(42,660 posts)this is sort of silly. And if we're being silly, why stop at Ramen noodles. Why not say that every member of Congress should be required by law to eat only Kibbles n Bits dog food for every meal of the day when the unemployment rate is over 5%. And why 5%? Why not 4% or 3% or some other number?
WoT.

(20,043 posts)it's symbolic. How many of us have had to eat this because of hard times? How many single moms have had to skip meals so your kids would have enough food. How many fathers work 70 hours a week and eat oodles of noodles cuz they want their kids to eat healthy.
How many safety nets do these assholes want to cut? How many jobs bills have they introduced, not the bullshit they call jobs bills but real ones?
Walk a mile in someone's shoes....

You mean somebody like Barney Frank or Al Franken should get the same treatment as dumbshits like Inhofe or Craig?
