Before touching SS let’s get rid of ALL means-tested federal programs like TANF, section 8, etc. The various means-tested programs are scattered and hidden among multiple budgets (for example, food stamps in Sept of agriculture). First, let’s consolidate them all into one dept so it’s easier for people to see it all, then cut them.

First measure: vigorous elimination of illegal aliens from welfare.

If all of the welfare cheats were weeded out of Social Security and Medicare people would be surprised at the savings I suggest.

GREAT start!! The libs and all women will go CRAZY!!

[Joe Boucher]

So very tired of having to pay for PBS liberal agenda push.
About every 7th segment is support for the homosexual agenda.
Pull the federal slush funding, if they can make it on their own, fine. If not, let PBS sink.

[Drango]

The real problem is that these cuts, which together amount to $2.5 billion a year, won’t put a real dent in our growing debt.

Couple a billion here and a couple of billion there and pretty soon it adds up to real money.

He needs to end to funding of the arts too!!!

“The real problem is that these cuts, which together amount to $2.5 billion a year, won’t put a real dent in our growing debt.”

So? I don’t want my tax money spent on anti-American programs. Period end of story. PBS is full of leftist politics and insane positions on the issues. Don’t get my going on the NEA.

BRAVO

MAGA

Been looking forward to the day when unnecessary agencies, with authority/sway over day to day activities and no Constitutional reason for exixtence, would begin to disappear.
Keep the pressure on

The libs wail that without gubmint funds, Big Bird & Miss Piggy will not survive. I believe licensing and sales of those PBS props can support PBS. The gubmint Million$ goes for $$$alaries for the fatcats who run PBS. Ditto the others.

[Big Red Badger]

NPR...Give Them The BIG BIRD!

[stellaluna]

I never watch PBS anymore. Childrens shows, nature shows and history documentaries and filmed versions of my favorite books can all be found on cable.

[Sequoyah101]

Cutting the purse strings on PBS can’t happen too soon. My wie had the PBS news hour on the other night. I heard from a distance them snarking that Trump only had a fraction of his cabinet in place as if it was his short fall!

FAKE NEWS indeed. They will say they report the facts but Trump is correct in saying they distort the facts and spin them how they want the sheeple to hear them.

GET RID OF PBS. Defund them. I won’t pay by contribution and don’t want to pay by taxation.

It puts a big dent in money going to lilly whites, which in turn cuts the money going to democrats next election. Why can't republicans ever think strategically?

[Tigercap]

AWESOME. NPR & PBS are such wasteful crap. They went all-in with one party and it paid off for 40+ years.
NO MORE!
