For reductio ad absurdum... Let's just say that there was a gov't agency in charge of lifesaving medicine for children, and naming buildings after Barack Obama. Budget cuts come. What piece gets chopped?
The medicine for children, of course. People will holler, kids will die, and the line item will get added back into the budget. If they cut "The Committee to Name Things After Barack", most people would say "Fair Enough" and the rest would wonder why there was committee to do that in the first place.
Thus, the government bureaucrats maintain their budget fiefdoms.
I'll be properly excited when it comes to fruition. Man, I'd love to see CPR and the NEA get chopped, I'd be first in line to cheer. I'm just not optimistic.
The government should not be providing children medicine.
Cut both programs.
