Wait a minute ... wait a goll darn minute!

Let's think this through before we go and get all goosey about cutting funding for government TV and radio.

First, “we the people” are supposed to own government TV and radio. That means we own the equipment, offices, translators, and all the other stuff like cars, trucks, etc.

“We the people” are not just going to give this massive investment away ... instead the proper course would be to sell the assets.

Now whether to piece meal it or sell it as a whole, that needs a proper study. I can imagine there is benefit to selling whole, but just giving it to the people who operate it right now is not an option. They will have the opportunity to bid on the assets just like everybody else. I further suggest that all proceeds be soley used to help pay down the out-of-control national debt.

As this “de-funding” debate goes on its merry course, I encourage you to make these points that the assets should be properly disposed.

Very good point. Defund NPR and give us, the taxpayers, the money back that we spent developing and supporting it!

You are, of course, dead right.

And what better way to dispose of the property than sell it to its listeners. Put a price on the assets...and if the employees and the listeners can't meet it...sell the operation to Fox...
