I thought that subsidies for NPR “were too small to matter.”

I'm not seeing a downside to this.

I supposed I might miss “Wait! Wait! Don't Tell Me!” or “Prairie Home Comrade.”

Does it also cut off any indirect source of funding, such as the assistance to foundations that in turn give money to the same source?

It will do no good if that indirect source of funding is not stifled as well, if there is that kind of funding.
