It's wheels up for high flyers; wheels off for homebound hungry

As soon as the Sequester created hours long air traffic delays, the nation's privileged high flyers took umbrage. They talked, and the Congressmen walked...straight into legislative session. Voila, a bill appeared and the air traffic delays magically vanished from the Sequester cutbacks.

Meanwhile, the folks really in need, such as those homebound and dependent upon the 365 million Meals on Wheels served yearly, have seen a 5% cutback in service. That represents an annual reduction of almost 20 million meals. They're talking too....but nobody is listening.

The folks promoting the Sequester are doing High Fives, finally achieving cutbacks in the social safety net they have been championing for years. They even have a new name for the wonderful program that provides early education for the needy so they can gain a semblance of parity with their affluent peers: Head Stop.
