The Memorial Day headline about the development of a lottery system for the senior food program was a real holiday treat. So now those who have been forced into poverty by recession damage to their retirement years and other uncontrollable reverses get to draw straws to see who gets to eat while our political forces ignore their jobs to squabble over who gets to be boss of the budget. It’s disgusting and a national embarrassment.
