My favorite for the axe is Americorp. Like the Peace Corps it turns it’s ‘volunteers’ into life-long Democrats.

You’ve got that right! Americorp. We don’t need it.
Get rid of all that ‘rat BS! NPR especially. They ran a Trump attack story just the other day. Screw the demoncrats and their pet publicly funded agit-prop.
Do it asap. Stop talking, do it.

Not excusing the hideous waste of taxpayer dollars at all; but if you are going to fund something like NPR in the DC area, well, $100K employee and you have to share an apartment in Northern Virginia...
So...even more of an argument that this stuff needs to go.
Hey - if the country had no debt and a balanced budget, have at it. But this stuff is a luxury. A luxury we can’t afford.

This is one of the odd things of the way that NPR runs. If they had been located in Charleston, SC or Louisville...the salary structure could have been set at 50-percent of what they pay for DC.
I can remember from the initial first three years of operation....they were mostly a jazz and classical network, with only an hour or two per day of news. I wish that Congress would simply mandate that 50-percent of their day-time operation had to revert back to classical arts/music.

..... according to the New York Times ...
FWIW, I hope SEVERE CUTS and TOTAL DEFUNDING are TRUE.

My favorite for the axe is Americorp. Like the Peace Corps it turns its volunteers into life-long Democrats.Not if you get to them young enough. I had twin nieces that served two "tours" with them and then they lived in my house (and had to listened to me) for three years.
They called me (from California, no less!) last November so excited that Trump won.

Most streets have a turnover of residents.
Not Sesame Street.

Every program on PBS’s various networks already has corporate sponsors. I suspect the tax dollars are needed to pay for the local “Station Managers” and their entitlements.
To: Enlightened1
Yup. These are sacred cows to these batshit crazy fools.
