there are a lot of art programs that I would like to see cut, too.
Food and medicine for poor kids is a lot more important to me.
it is not political. unless you think not promoting homophobia and creationism is unbalanced
thats like forcing a science channel to promote flat earth theory for "balance".
oh, frontline is also awesome.
pbs is a wonderful public service, our nation would definetly be worse without it. commercial "science/education" channels like discovery are rather dumbed down.
and really, not everything is for profit. how about we cut loose funding for government research, the military, education, nasa , public libraries, public schools, public museums(f*ck the Smithsonian!), public parks, natioanl parks.. ...have everything be funded by donations and commercial enterprise
tahts the ticket
Food and medicine for poor kids is a lot more important to me.
we grow more then enough food to feed everyone in america. much rots on the ground or vine to keep prices up. its not a matter of much money, just legislation. and well..nasa takes money away from feeding starving children!! heh
really, pbs/npr's budget is a drop in the bucket compared to the real financial problems of social security and medicare. politicians only bring it up to distract from their real incomptence. don't fall for it.
i wonder how many of you people saying no to pbs go to public university right now eh? you know how much that would cost without massive government subsidy? education would be limited to the aristocrisy.
