Canceled white house tours. they say these students coming to washington should have the right to see the white house. they dont seem to care all that much when you have cuts to head starts, that are happening across the board because of sequestration levels. same thing with research grants. for instance, the nih cannot accept 200 clinical patients, including 30 children with cancer, because of the government shutdown. thats obviously tragic. but theres a broader issue at play here, which is tha...
