Well you have to start somewhere.

Cole criticized the proposal for pragmatic reasons. “We can’t balance a budget by going after relatively small items,” he said.

No one claims you can, however every little bit helps. Furthermore, nearly 100% of this money goes to democrats, who will in turn support your own opponents. You can cut this money out of the budget with no damage to republicans.

“With public radio I can wake up without someone shouting at me,” he noted.

That's worth 700 million?

“NPR content “is informative and fair,” Cole said. “I know some people disagree but if they’d listen to the content they’d likely come to another opinion.”

Then they will be successful on their own.

“$741 million = 3/4ths of a BILLION dollars!”

Enough to buy something like 5 B2 bombers, PER YEAR...when we only bought 21 total, thanks to Bush Sr. (and we since lost one).
