Wow. Is that all you have, Stupidmankenneth? PBS receives only a small percentage of their funding from taxpayers. It should be cut, because it is unnecessary spending. They'll survive just fine without it.

Well if it so small why do they want to cut it? What is the equivalent in military toilet seats?
If it's such a small amount, why does Romney think it will make such an impact on the debt?
Exactly. It's the only specific thing he could think of for which we shouldn't "borrow from China."

Because there are a thousand other things like it that should also be cut. Collectively, they'll make all the difference in the world.
I'd hate to see what your household finances look like.
Rather than a thousand cuts, how about a medium-sized chunk of great big cuts? Like Defense? Oil subsidies and other corporate welfare?
Heres the transcripts, you lying asshole .....show us where he said

Using this argument nothing will get cut.
Talk of cutting PBS while calling for increases in defense spending above what is requested is pennywise and pound foolish. My bet is Romney will do what Bush did with PBS, i.e., install right wingers to try to turn it towards the right.
You want to get burned like Obama did in the debate.......
The 90 BILLION taxpayers dollars Obama wasted on hair-brained green energy project losers would be enough to pay the oil subsidies for the next 50 years.....
Corporations ?......Obama agrees with Romney, cut the corporate tax by 10 percentage points.....down to 25%......
Cutting the Defense will cause the loss of jobs at many defense plants whose wages keep their workers in the UPPER middle class....
You like the fact that some of our troops are getting food stamps, right.....
"Romney will do what Bush did with PBS, i.e., install right wingers to try to turn it towards the right."......wow....did you really just
pull that one out of your rectum....just like that....or did you have to grunt a little to pass such a whopper or a lie.....?
Has anyone ever explained to you WHY a little pill to cure a serious sickness might cost 100 or 500 or whatever, dollars each....????
You guys are such fakes. You might fool some wet behind the ears pinhead, but I have been at this too long and I see right through you. You have no interest in cutting government spending.

Thats it.....thats your childish lame answer?......Do you know what a liberal pinhead is....?
Can't you defend the whopping lie you tried to pass off ......
Because of a ridiculous patent system? Is that where you are headed? I am sure Tom knows all about that with the incredibly useless and stifling battles going on between Apple, Google, Oracle and all the rest.
But please tell us how we MUST spend hundreds of dollars per unit to do R&D on toilet seats but not a nickel for an efficient engine.
What kind of pinhead swallows the lie that there is no corruption in the contracts given out by the DoD?

You, Romney and facts... strangers in the night.
"Close to the halfway point in the debate, in response to a statement by President Obama that the oil industry gets "$4 billion a year in corporate welfare," Romney said "in one year, you provided $90 billion in breaks to the green energy world. Now, I like green energy as well, but that's about 50 years' worth of what oil and gas receives, and you say Exxon and Mobil -- actually, this $2.8 billion goes largely to small companies, to drilling operators and so forth.... But -- but don't forget, you put $90 billion -- like 50 years worth of breaks -- into solar and wind, to -- to Solyndra and Fisker and Tesla and Ener1."
[But]it's not $90 billion on solar and wind in one year, but less than two billion on solar, wind, transmission upgrades, electric cars, and other energy innovations over the last three years. It's not true that half of the companies getting those grants have failed: the actual failure rate is less than fifth of what Congress budgeted for. And one of the companies Romney mentioned as having failed, though it isn't as robust as its stockholders would like, is making loan payments early."

Cutting defense doesn't mean making the troops eat more shit than they're already eating...
it means starving the MIC profiteers. Those same guys who fund elections while fleecing the defense budget.
