I have waited nearly a lifetime for this. All of the Godless, liberal, pro-evil garbage they have put out over the air finally caught up with them.

When you’re 20 trillion in debt you don’t pay for frills.
If you’re in danger of bankruptcy, you don’t charge a family vacation to Disney.

The local art museum was founded by solid patriots and featured some very excellent exhibits about life in general and the West in particular. About ten years ago Kalifornia refugees took over the board and now it is leftist garbage in every display.

"Plus PBS competes with small private companies offering services such as video production and editing. They can undercut the private companies because they pay little to no tax. In some areas they have practically pushed most of the small companies out of business."Hmmm... Sounds like a conversation I had with a Commercial Banker and his disdain for Credit Unions via their tax exempt status.... Great post LadyJane!

I always love the talking point of “it’s only 0.02 percent of the federal budget.” Well, great. That’s 0.02 percent the taxpayers just saved.
And the liberals can still have these things, they just have to raise full funding for them. And if they do that, they should be able to raise any point they want to make without conservatives complaining that their tax dollars are being abused.
It’s a win-win.

Congress rarely (if ever) enacts a president’s budget. Usually they cobble together one of their own — if they even produce a budget in a given year. Members of both houses are all about feathering their own nests above all else, and the taxpayers be damned. So each individual will vote for or against such measures depending on who shovels the most cash and other goodies at them.

I’ve often imagined that the one reading ‘All Things Considered’ (except opposing views) must sit there with her nose high up in the air, like some kind of Gorbull warming CO2 detector, as she reads the script.

Sounds great.
But, it won’t happen. Congressional Republicans lack the will and the stones. They worry about the blowback and their reelection chances.

My friend said he had been in and out of many TV studios in his career.
He said PBS stations ALL had the newest, latest most up to date equipment and technology.
Commercial studios were chock full of old, outdated, patched up and duct-taped stuff. They MADE DO and couldn't compare to the PBS stations.

No.
We taxpayers have invested many millions of dollars into NPR and PBS. Instead of merely having their funding stopped, their assets should be liquidated and the proceeds returned to the US treasury.
These organizations can get along without the financial advantages we taxpayers have given them.

Every decision Trump made can be blocked by some weed toking Marxist judge somewhere. In this case Congress Rinos are sharing the weed.

Check out the NPR’s Facebook page. They are all bent out of shape over this budget. I love it!

“Women, children & minorities hurt most.”
Most of whom dont even watch PBS, nor listen to NPR, or go to an art museum.
