That should reduce the deficit by 0.06%.

Can't imagine how the budget talks will go this fall/winter. Dems, '---- off, you can't be trusted.' Took a long time to learn that lesson.

We don't need state funded media. They aren't being taken off the air, just losing their taxpayer funding.

I love PBS. I never watch the news. I watch Masterpiece Theater, Masterpiece Mystery, various Ken Burns series, etc.

I love masterpiece theater.

Grew up watching it with my parents.

It's funny Cons are always -------' about the state of American culture, yet they hate the ones who actually preserve it. You're not finding "An American Fourth" or the Lincoln Honors or Ken Burn's "Baseball" on a commercial station.

If Trump were to announce it, you'd be cheering him on.

What free money, it's from taxes we all pay. Government is a service. You've already paid for it, why not use the services offered? You have no problem as long as your money is used for kidnapping and torture, why not use it to inform as well?

Boaz.

I realize you're too stupid to understand this, but governments collect taxes. Then uses that money to invest in their nation and the people of their nation.

European countries do it in a way that benefits everyone.

America does it in a way that only benefits the extravagantly wealthy.

They have morons like you defending them.

Barking like a trained dog.

Because deep down in their souls, Republicans are angry, miserable people.

Misery loves company.

They feel temporary joy seeing others suffer.
