Big Bird, Planned Parenthood, NEA,.. are symbolic mostly. If we can't even cut funding to those, how can we make any serious progress on govt over spending?
Of the 535 in Congress only about 5 are serious about the budget. The rest are quibbling that our money should be mis-managed/squandered in a different way.

trust me, the capitol hill clowns spend our cash on the most absurd things like....correct condom use education, a new private jet or car for a senator, a congressman pay raise, alcohol for some people on welfare...and your not going to believe this...2 billion on zombie defense spending
I'm really starting to wish Romney was president, and criticize him all you want for being a businessman, at least Romney could make money

Conservatives can laugh all they want at this....public broadcast television is a small, negligible expenditure that benefits us in the long run. Children NEED programming with educational value if their parents are going to ignore them in front of the television anyway. Programs like Sesame Street are proven by peer-reviewed study to assist young children in preparation for getting educated, publicly or privately. Nobody minds government money going into schools, but they mind it going into television programs that are effectively a form of early school themselves?
PBS costs about as much as a couple of the missiles gathering dust in our defense system.

The entire conservative party's ideas are stupid. They're based on literally nothing but obsolete religious values (the beliefs of barbarian savages) and anything they can think of to keep them in control of as much money as they can be.

Anthropogenic climate change is an empirical fact.
I don't know what "Recovery Summer" is.
Obamacare mimics health care systems that have been successful and beneficial in other countries.

It's an empirical fact that it's a Lib LIE.
LOL. That's because we didn't have one! The Obamamassiah claimed the economy would recover last Summer,it obviously didn't.
ROTFLMAO!!! Riiight.

No they aren't. Every political party in every country is unique even when they share similar names. Hell, in some countries "liberals" share more views with American conservatives than American liberals.

Yes,they are.They may go by different names but a Lib is still a Lib.

Just because Romney is going to cut budget, doesn't mean they are going down.
They have enough money to pay for themselves from merchandising, it's what others do.
Liberals decided to twist this and get children to hate Romney.
In fact, I saw a girl in my class who wore a shirt that had big bird on it and a sign saying "Pray for me if Romney wins."
And a big OBAMA 2012.
Also, being a founder of a Republican group in my class, I find it kind of revolting when I see my "Obama Epic Fail" posters being torn down.
I have a right to be right.
I chose to be republican.
(Sorry for the long rant )

Hang in there you know the education system is a liberal tool. I'm proud to see a student who still knows she can exercise her right to be what she wants to be no matter what the Obama Zombies do. Keep up the good fight friend.

Sesame Street is a non-issue, and both sides are stupid to treat it otherwise. Democrats are stupid in thinking cutting spending on PBS will be the end of it (it won't!), and Republicans are stupid in thinking cutting spending on PBS will fix the deficit (it won't!).
You know what should be cut to fix the deficit and debt? Our military!

we need to keep the military strong or else everyone could get attacked by another country
do you want that to happen? Didn't think so.

We spend more on the military than any other county on earth, and we would still have the largest military even if we cut it by 90 percent.

PBS is a symbolic cut nothing more. It makes no sense to fund something that needs no funds especially when you are broke.
How did military cuts work out for ambassador Stevens in Libya?

We spend more on the military than any other country in the world. We could cut our military by 90 percent and still have the largest one ever. The fact fiscal conservatives like Romney and Ryan don't wish to cut it proves they are neither fiscal or conservative.

PBS has more lives than a cat. Conserves have tried cutting funds for yrs to no avail. Funny thing is that it would prob be better off w/o govt money and Conserves would not be able to gripe.
