The elimination of useless, wasteful bureaucracy needs to start somewhere.
All public broadcasting. It’s nothing more than a liberal propaganda machine.
Defund npr, bureau of indian affairs, education dept, interstate commerce commission, epa, and about a thousand other f-ing leach worthless agencies.
Most of NPR’s money doesn’t come from the government, anyway.
Considering how much they get from corporate grants and listeners, they should be able to do just fine without our money.
That would go over well, NOT.
George Soros just gave them a million dollars yesterday.
How about the Department of Education. Let’s get rid of that one. What a waste...
Don’t be so sure.
Americans are getting fed up with political correctness.
Besides, it’s going to ruffle feathers to do the right thing and start de-funding liberal moneypit bureaucracies.
Gotta start somewhere. If there’s whining involved, oh well.
Let there be whining then. Do it anyway.
I agree. Add National Endowment for the Arts and any support for public broadcasting.
AMEN!!!! Please let it happen, along with planned parenthood, the UN, ACORN and every other leftist org we fund.
Good luck. Repubs have been trying for decades to defund NPR. This was the latest try:

NPR violates the First Amendment.
NPR is government journalism.
Blatantly un-Constitutional. De-fund it.
Yeah, they should eliminate as well the Veterans Inspection of Food, that was for 1847 when Mexicans sold tainted milk and poisoned cheese to soldiers. Probably most comissaries on Bases should be axed. These food chains operate every year at a loss, and all soldiers can shop at Walmart or Krogers like the rest of us...only in countries where they don’t have access to Twinkies should these PX giants operate. I’ve had ‘officers’ take me on base and let me pick and they paid for my subsidized clothes.
I'm quite confident that government “workers” employed as a journalists or artists, dancers, musicians, actors, playwrights, poets, etc. by America's Public Broadcasting System, National Council of the Arts, or similar bureaucracies will find useful, rewarding, and remunerative work their chosen fields once these money pits have been closed down. The others may wish to consider alternative careers like landscape maintenance, or other jobs that “Americans won't do”>
I've seen a few signs in the windows of (privately owned) local restaurants indicating employment opportunities.
I agree, however, saying it is a lot harder than doing it.
Libtard candidate here said if my opponent gets rid if the Department of Education our state’s schools will lose a billion dollars in federal money.
Question: To get that one billion back here, how many billions of taxpayer money have to go to Washington?
Nope, it's only a matter of political will.
If they get the majority in the house {where all money bills begin} simply do not fund npr, the senate can scream, and add amendments, but if the house has the balls, they can defeat it in conference.
No money is funded for npr, there is nothing the senate or the one can do about it.
The Republicans wimped out the last time.
Why expect anything new after November ?
I totally agree. There is SO much that needs abolishing and eliminating.
The bggest problem is that the GOP has always been run by wimps
