...”Both Nancy Reagan and Barbara Bush noted in thier memoirs that they received a monthly bill for the food purchased for the private quarters””

The key words here are “for the private quarters”.
That is NOT lunches for INVITED guests.

”Both Nancy Reagan and Barbara Bush noted in thier (sic) memoirs that they received a monthly bill for the food purchased for the private quarters”

Both Nancy Reagan and Barbara Busg are Republicans. Republicans pay their bills, Democrats do not.
