The House has voted to end federal funding to National Public Radio, though the chances of it getting through the Senate are slim. Republican supporters say it makes good fiscal sense, but Democratic opponents call it an ideological attack that would deprive local stations of access to programs such as Car Talk and All Things Considered. The bill, which passed 228-192 along mostly partisan lines, would bar federal funding of NPR and prohibit local public stations from using federal money to pay NPR dues and buy its programs. “It is time for American citizens to stop funding an organization that can stand on its own feet,” said Colorado Republican Doug Lamborn. He said it was not a question of content—which many conservatives say has a liberal slant—but whether taxpayer dollars should go to nonessential services. “As a country we no longer have this luxury.” Democrat Ed Markey countered that the bill would “snuff out stations from coast to coast, many in rural areas where the public radio station is the primary source of news and information.”
I know I am so much more confident about the economy and job creation with this action by our Reps in Washington….(once again…SARCASM!)
I know that I feel much more confident in the work of our Reps…..(yes…sarcasm)
Do these people not realize that this waste of time does nothing to improve their popularity rating….which is at 26%…..this whole spending cut thing and the whole Congress is nothing more than a huge joke….(and that is NOT sarcasm…..but rather a statement of fact)
“It is time for American citizens to stop funding an organization that can stand on its own feet,” Wall Street???!!! duh!!!!!
But these are the same people that think teachers and cops are greedy and billionaire CEO’s are victims
Have you noticed that the Repubs are always trying to attack organizations on the Left……and the Dems do not see the need to destroy anything on the Right…other than the liars and cheats…
