Democrats - answer this: Do you seriously think it's okay to borrow money from China to keep Big Bird on the air?

hey, i voted for reagan and i also voted for clinton.

soooo...... you know

cut the funding to pbs.

they make money.

don't give those 60s leftovers and new age socialists any more taxpayer money.....

they even turned bert and ernie gay.

creepy

Maybe, Maybe not....It's sad that you any the other repub's are shitting your britches that it's "Maybe Not"

FWIW, I'm a former Repub...you guys lost me when you decided to run Sarah Palin.

"Please cite/explain where, when & how we borrow from China?"
______

OMG...And people like this vote.

Yep I SURE DO.....
but you can try and answer the question if you are up to it.

Thats right keep shooting that bulls eye in the mirror.Maybe if you bent the sights you will get it this time.

They are retarded from looking at Big
Bird...


.

The government issues bonds.....China takes all it's dollars we spend on Chinese junk and buy these bonds. They now hold over 1.4 trillion dollars of USA debt.

thanks

Just in case you didn't know this, Barry is currently the president and has been for the last 3-1/2 years. If he was so fucking worried about subsidies to oil companies why hasn't he already fixed it, dipshit?

PBS only gets 450 million a year. Damn they give them that much!

I forgot...not only did they turn bert and ernie and gay...

they made bert nuts....

^^^^^This!!

So much SS merchandise is sold each year. What is that money being used for?

Why not ask dems Bill Gates or Oprah to pay for Big Bird? While I applaud her work ethic, does Oprah REALLY need a mansion in every state? Certainly better than getting a loan from the Chinese.

Problem is, since it is supported by the government, it only spews government-approved dribble. Of course, NPR is even WORSE and should also get the hatchet.

It was my understanding that PBS ALWAYS was Federally funded, as WELL as receiving donations from the Public. At least, it seems like every time I watch a program on PBS they are breaking in every 15 minutes and begging for money. Very annoying.

as opposed to the capitalistic way of shitty assed commercials...6 mins worth every 7.5 mins...give me PBS anyday

The largest holder of American debt is the American people themselves, so the question Romney should have asked is, "Should we borrow money from ourselves in order to educate our children?"

AND PBS, I believe, gets something like .01 of its budget from the federal gov't.


AND here is the kicker: Republicans want everything to be owned by private industry. If they could, they would privatize the military (actually, it already kind of is, with the private defense corporations running much of the procurement show)and everything else. But as someone said, commercial television is full of shit commercials AND you pay for those commercials when you buy the company's products. Even if I DON'T watch the commercials, I have to pay for them in everything I buy. That kind of sucks. I'd rather have the gov't throw a few dineros the way of the arts and have the people subsidize some of that.

It's not that the Dems have nothing better to talk about, it's just that they can't get over the fact that Romney "went there."

Romney's act at the debate was reminiscent of a good old AMWAY convention presentation. We don't need a well-coiffed, slick-talking, "Music Man" flimflam artist as a president. Go back and watch the debate and ask yourself, "Gee, was this how he pitched Bain Capital's hostile takeover bids?"

they made bert and ernie gay

when i watched that dumb show they were just friends

pbs is sick

stop finding

plus they make about 9billion off poor overworked elmo thing

ceo made over 980,000 in 2008...wonder what the salary is now

yeah sesame street isn't the educational show that everyone wants. i simply cannot rationalize federal funding for a publicly funded broadcasting network.

445 million for PBS fed funded every year. in two years thats a billion bucks. really? for what?

how often do you watch PBS?
