Don't Upset The Frequent Flyers

The whole point of the sequester was that it would pinch everyone, and everyone would  get serious about the budget.  That was until the 1% started getting pinched. Furloughs and layoffs for air traffic controllers caused flight delays, and we couldn't have that, could we?  In two shakes of a lamb's tail, the Congress passed legislation to take air travel out of the sequester.  Not day care, or meals on wheels, or national parks.  Just the flyers.  All 1% of them. Congress - especially the Democrats - should be ashamed.
