Saturday's letters: Headline on expenses article misses the point

Re. “$10,000 buffet tops expenses,” Jan. 4

Maybe because it sounds outrageous?
But anyone who read past the headline and first paragraph would see the real story: that the government cut its travel and hospitality expenses from $18.4 million two years ago to $3.8 million in 2017.
