Based on what other highly democratic and free countries do, the allocation from the government should be closer to $10 billion. All totaled, the suggestions we make here for subscription subsidies, postal reforms, youth media and investment in public broadcasting have a price tag in the range of $60 billion over the next three years.

So our so-called journalists want to become Amtrak. Let's call it Ampress.

What gall.

They are bound to be disappointed. Like the round-heeled woman who dispenses her favors for free and then has trouble landing a husband, newspapers have been giving away their favors to Big Government for ages. And now they have the temerity to ask for payment.

HAR!
