To the Editor:

    It is widely agreed that across-the-board budget cuts are stupid. They have however the merit of being equitable. When the single federal service that members of congress and their donors personally rely on is spared--while the rest of the nation suffers this stupidity--our public servants express their contempt for us. The feeling is mutual.
