Republican House Eliminated Funding for Public Broadcasting

    The Republicans gave billions and billons of dollars to the rich.  Now they are going to do something for me.  They are going to save me $1.35 next year by doing away with funding for public broadcasting.

    There are 368 public television stations and 934 public radio stations.  They got about 11% of their funding from the government.  I don’t know about you but I think $1.35 a year  was a pretty good deal for public TV and public radio.
    The Republicans have hated public TV and radio and wanted to get rid of it for years.  They think it is liberal and left wing.

    Now the actions of the House may not stand.  
    If it does stand I am sure that public broadcasting will not go off the air.  They will have to cut some services, cut some programs and cut some staff. 
  
    I think the Republicans may have made a big mistake.  If they had left PBS with even 1% funding then those 368 public TV stations and 934 radio stations would have worked very hard, as they have been doing, to be “fair and balanced.” 
    If public broadcasting is getting zero money from the government then if I were them I would tell the truth fully and direct and without any holding back. 
    If I worked for PBS I would decide it was time for some pay back.
    
    I sure been getting a deal for my $1.35 each year.  Now since the GOP is saving me that $1.35 each year I will have to decide how to spend it.  OH, I will add some to it and donate it to the Democratic Party.
    If I were PBS I would change the name of the network. 
    How about the Progressive Network?  The PBS – Progressive Broadcast System.
