The senate has to pass it....and it won't. And even if it did, the stain will veto it.
So...NPR goes merrily on....safe, left wing biased, and economically secure with your tax money.
Voting to defund NPR has the exact same effect as voting to repeal the stain's new healthcare law.
None.
There was some Democrat congresscritter bleating that “this will never pass the Senate.”
Sorry. Wrong.
The correct construction is “Public broadcasting funding will never pass the House.”
If the Senate Democrats, or Obama, want to shut down the government to preserve the small fraction of the public broadcasting budget which federal funding represents, then they should go for it.
Play time is over. Time to get serious.
The phrase “fiddling while Rome burns” and similar constructions should get a lot of Republican repetition.
I think that public broadcasting has burned one or two too many bridges at this point. Their federal funding is gone. And they only have themselves to blame.
And, if the Republicans in the House don’t hold fast on this one issue, then it’s definitely Third Party time. We need to make sure the Republicans know that this is not a threat—it’s a promise.
“The senate has to pass it....and it won’t. And even if it did, the stain will veto it.”
All budgeting starts in the house. If the house doesn’t fund it, they don’t get it.
Have we all forgotten how basic civics classes work?
So, big deal, the Senate doesn’t pass it. NPR still gets NO MONEY anyway.
None.
Wrong, simple civics teaches you that the House controls the purse strings.
No money = no money.
