If they’re receiving federal funding, then they’re not independent, I think.

The first rule when you are in debt - quit spending.

Especially when you need to borrow money to spend.

This nation is trillions in debt. It is way past time we quit “redistributed” the wealth.

If it is not necessary for the security of the nation, it should be eliminated.

We really need a constitutional amendment that prohibits spending on these types of things.

If they depend on taxpayers funding they’re not really independent.

went on to slam liberals for their lack of knowledge regarding budgeting and sacrifice

It's no "sacrifice".

The federal government has no business spending even 1 cent on these programs.

Sadly, Congress will ignore his request and pass a budget that’s even fatter than before.

Just keep adding more and more to the no budget list. Find some other sugar daddy to take care of you.

You mean the Atlanta airport would have to run itself?

But will the Republican Congress follow through?

PBS and NPR are no longer “commercial free”. They run lots of commercials, and most of them are the exact same “spots” that are run on regular TV. Cars, Insurance Companies, Organizations, Medical facilities, Processed Food, etc, all have their ads on PBS, albeit bunched at the beginning and ends of programs rather than throughout.

Plus they get grants from various Foundations, who ALSO advertise.

Then they have their incessant “Begging Shows” getting ordinary people to donate.

The individual programs, like Sesame Street, have their related products to sell.

They don’t need public funding as well.

A plethora of Americans expressed their dismay at these groups losing their government funding, while others noted the budget’s ability to reduce a portion of America’s national debt.

Meanwhile, the MAJORITY of Americans who voted for Trump noted that these activities were all clearly outside the scope of defined government powers outlined in the Constitution and as a result they should have never existed in the first place!

By definition, an agency is not independent if it is dependent on others for its money.

Fake headline.
