In its usual stumbling way, Congress let the Sequester go into effect. Naturally, some its consequences were not felt right away. They knew that the cuts that affected those citizens with the most need wouldn't cause much of a stir because they have very little clout in Congress.
But then, the FAA cuts took effect and all of a sudden, the well-heeled travelers, such as Senators and Congressmen commuting from National Airport, had to wait in line like the rest of the salarymen. Thatt was unacceptable.
We all saw how quickly an exception for controllers was carved out. Then there was the meat cutters - none of us wants to buy a chunk of beef where we count on the cleanliness of the free-market, unsupervised meat purveyors. Give them an exception. Who's next?
I have a dream of attending a session of Congress in the peanut gallery, and with like-minded fellow citizens, standing up and shouting "SHAME ON YOU."
