Another excellent article by Cliff Kincaid.
Great line from Romney to answer to the “heartless cuts”.
It’s a start.. Might I suggest..
EPA, Dept of ed, kick fanny and freddy out of the house, cut off GM and many many other departments ripe for cuts/elimination..
President doesn't get any say on funding, except for veto.

Brilliantly on point. Those programs are questionable even IF we had the money to pay for it... but it is truly hideous that we are incurring such debt to keep paying for them.
Our best chance was after the 1994 elections and it didn’t happen then. Romney ain’t gonna do it.
How about defud NRP and Pacifica??
how about Planned Parenthood, something he has loved since about age 11??
NOthing wrong with that idea....
How about stop funding the middle east? They hate us, they want us dead. We give them billions of dollars and they still charge us for their oil.
Get rid of subsidizing other countries. I want that money given to our troops to protect us from those countries.
Take Air force One away from the President for his wife’s travel excursions. She should not be flying on our dime. We did not put her in the White House and she is not on our payroll.
I have more, but I’m tired!
The convention was ignored by my local PBS radio. I was stunned.
Yes! A most excellent article!
“Get her done!”
Now is the time to: “Get the job done!”
Public money should never have been allowed to fund that trash!!!
Get back to me when the depts of education and energy are abut to be shuttered.
An excellent idea - and long, long overdue.
America’s toffs have been amusing themselves at the public teat for far too long.
Let them endure commercials like everyone else.
While he’s at it, how about eliminating all government funding for the Ad Council? The radio PSAs that have inundated and rotted our eardrums since Obama took office are just inane.
Unimpressed by this lazy bloody shirt waving. Talk is cheap:

Has he already checked his huevos at the D.C. city limits? There are way bigger cuts that need to be made. He could start with the UN, the ME, every stimulus mooching company starting with the greenie eco and GM and fed departmental waste beginning with kicking out the hussein czars.
The Executive has more power to cut than he has to spend.
Congress can pass all the budgets they want, but allocating money for the executive branch isn’t the same as the executive branch spending it.
I don’t know that any president has had the guts to do it, but Romney/Ryan could just sit on the money and let it pile up in government accounts, which would be a great way to illustrate that it isn’t needed and put the spotlight/blame back onto Congress.
"It's honor to give 10 thousand dollars, especially now, when the rich mosaic of cable programming has made public television so very, very unnecessary."
Perfect!
There are myriad foundations that can help to pay for PBS. They need to adjust the contracts with the creators of Sesame Street, Clifford, Dora the Explorer, to retain a percentage of the millions of dollars of sales of toys, etc, from those programs. I think that alone would go a long way toward paying for the network!
As for the arts; many years ago, the arts were funded by people who appreciated them. The folks who appreciate them today can help fund them again. In so doing, we may not have to be subjected to the crap that has been posing as art for the past 30 years.
