I’ll bet Planned Parenthood are still getting paid. No taxpayer paid abortion rule or no, they got 540 million last year.

But the ‘folks’ who followed orders, without thinking, forgetting to look at their job descriptions, to barricade these war memorials, they’re getting paid.

We can save a good chunk of money shutting down CPB and BBG (Broadcasting Board of Governors) that funds Voice of America and Radio Free Europe and Al Hurra....

Like Pelosi said, they’ve cut ‘to the bone’.

The senile brigade at it again.
"There's nothing left to cut!", "At this point, what difference does it make?"

Want a list, you doddering old witch?

PP got that from the federal government, they are likely also getting state funds in many states.

Many of the “high profile” music concerts and music documentaries they are nationally are already issued simultaneously to home video with BONUS content. Oh sure, they try to get viewers to cough up 2x - 3x inflated prices for the home edition during the begathon interruptions.

But Netflix, Best Buy, and Amazon all offer the titles.

I keep wondering where Obastard is getting all this money he is giving out. So far he has given out tens of billions.

The indoctrination of our kids with shows like Sid the Science Kid needs to continue.

“I’ll bet Planned Parenthood are still getting paid.”

Have you seen this? PP just gave $1 million to McAuliffe’s campaign for Governor of VA against Ken Cuccinelli!!!

Turns my stomach as I can’t stand McAuliffe or PP!

“For 35 years, decisions on the amount of federal support for public broadcasting have been made two years ahead of the fiscal year in which the funding is allocated. In other words, Congress approves the FY2013 funding level for CPB during the FY2011 budget cycle, its FY2014 funding during the FY2012 cycle, and so on.”

Crap, more crap, and full crap. There hasn't been a "budget" for five years. This is one area where we taxpayers can demand some fiscal responsibility. Why in the heck do we need to raise the debt limit to fund this?!?!?

Then it’s long past time to recognize this evil Obama administration as illegal and extremely harmful to the continuation of this nation!

Get these Bozos out of the offices they lied and cheated to get.

America will be as dead as Detroit!

my friend, i am with you 100%. these constitution-shredding villains in the WH will stop at nothing to DESTROY this great republic, including indoctrinating our children in their crypto-marxist ideology through such PBS programs as bill moyer’s “frontline” and “the cat in the hat knows a lot about that”

it cannot be an accident that the Count on sesame street hails from the most vicious soviet country, romania. the Securitate made the Stasi look like the boy scouts

Neat.

The dem party gives to Planned Parenthood and they get it back with a swift sidekick.

All in a days work when talking moms into murdering their babies.
