Some vital budget cuts due to the sequester

Columbia Journalism Review highlights a few cuts: 

• the chief federal public defender in southern Ohio, who laid himself off;  
• 50 Head Start teachers in Kentucky thrown into poverty along with their children when they were laid off; 
• Florida workers whose last four weeks of extended unemployment benefits were denied without warning;
• a woman made homeless by hurricane Katrina eight years ago, who was about to get housing but did not; 
• a physician whose breast cancer research grant was slashed 75 percent; 
• elderly Meals on Wheels participants who will eat less often;
• cancer patients whose life-extending medicines are no longer available to them.

We're really lowering the deficit, which is our most important problem.
