Tea partiers probably love this. I think it sucks. But hey, business travelers don't have to worry about whether they'll land on time or not.

WASHINGTON -- Head Start, the federal pre-K education service for low-income families, has eliminated services for more than 57,000 children in the coming school year as a result of the federal budget reductions known as sequestration.

The cuts include a shorter school year and shorter school days, as well as laying off or reducing the pay for more than 18,000 employees nationwide. Others eliminated medical and dental screenings and bus routes.

And yet with Obama's sequestration, he was still able to go to Africa. Estimates say it cost between 60 and 100 million taxpayer dollars.

That money would have sent a lot of little thugs to school...

And congress got to go home on their six week vacation First Class instead of Business!
