I overheard NPR’s ‘Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me’ this morning and the first few minutes were absolute, vile slurs against the President. Why do we fund an openly Marxist propaganda outlet? Why are we forced to do this?
“Why are we forced to do this?”
Because we allowed it.
That’s why.

I suggest you ask former House speakers John Boehner and Paul Ryan. Even though all government spending must originate in the House of Representatives, neither could use their Constitutional power to cut a single federal agency or major program. Planned Parenthood - still getting millions. PBS/NPR, still on the dole — should have been privatized. Amtrak — ditto. US Postal Service, still getting subsidies while giving Amazon rates not accessible to average citizen and likely below cost. Grants to liberal social justice organizations and consultants which pass money directly to the DNC and Democrat candidates — the spigot still flows.
Anyone who believes any Republican legislator is going to stop wasteful spending and taxpayer funding to socialist organizations is kidding themselves. None of them have a stomach for a real fight over anything.
