Bow your heads, Americans. Sequestration has claimed another victim. Several, actually. Former Obama Car Czar and current millionaire “Morning Joe” economic analyst Steven Rattner‘s son will no longer be able to apply for a coveted Defense Dept. internship this summer:
DoD just cancelled a summer intern program my son was going to apply to. #sequester

And Rattner’s friend’s son? He’ll have to intern on the Hill without pay:
@SteveRattner And my friend's son was just told his Capitol Hill internship would now be unpaid

.@SteveRattner You're a 1%'er. Why do't you start your own internship program and hire some inner city kids while you're at it #sequester

Hey, there’s an idea!
They said if I voted for Romney that sons of pay czars would miss out on crucial internshi…wait, that's not right. @lachlan @SteveRattner

@SteveRattner Boo hoo. Cut everyone's salary in the White House and Congress to pay for it.

@BenHowe I'm sure the #sequester has put a big crimp in Washington nepotism. @SteveRattner
