Foreign entities hold only 25% of the current debt, and THAT is split among MANY groups and people! The largest holders were the central banks of China, Japan, Brazil, Taiwan, United Kingdom, Switzerland and Russia. China current holds only 8% of the total U.S. debt! . |

They don't need our tax dollar to continue. PBS said that they could make on their own. So why does our Government continuesly funding PBS! That's about $3.00 per year for those that work and pay taxes. That's not hard earned money well spent. |

Quoting: samanthasunflower We are 16 trillion in debt, and they are upset at the idea of cutting a subsidy that the head of PBS has said that they don't need. They won't even cut the littlest thing now, how will they react where the money is all gone??? Untrue... When you factor in all unfunded liabilities, the number swells closer to.. 100 TRILLION |

PBS is just full of useless shit like black history and holocaust shit that is constantly blurted out all the time, every fucking day trying to make me feel sorry for them. Then for half the day it's the call center for donations for the rest of the day. I never liked PBS as a kid and I don't like it today. Most kids don't like it. So please, please, shut it down for good. |

Factual Error (OP) User ID: 19116606 United States 10/20/2012 10:09 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "so "factual" do you want a counter post discussion or will you just ban me?" I don't even know how to ban people from my threads, and I wouldn't even if I did know how. I would love to hear any argument as to why we should keep funding Big Bird, or the F-22 Raptor. Not intended to be a factual statement. |
TheMacaroni User ID: 24516758 United States 10/20/2012 10:32 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "According to Schuyler Velasco in the Christian Science Monitor, killing Big Bird--or, more specifically, cutting the federal subsidy to PBS, which makes up 12% of PBS's funding--will save $445 million." Quoting: Factual Error Read the rest at: [link to www.businessinsider.com] Helping to perpetuate REAL politics right there...aren't ya? Big Bird. I am literally watching GROWN PEOPLE argue over big bird. Do you guys realize how much of a joke you are to the elite? Romney said it best during his "roast of Obama," which, if you ask me...was more of a "roast" of the public at large because they weren't swift enough to understand the underlying message of the joke. Here's what he said... "People seem to be very curious as to how we prepare for the debates. Let me tell you what I do...First, refrain from alcohol for 65 years before the debate, 2nd, find the biggest available STRAW MAN and attack him mercilessly. Big Bird never saw it coming." He literally waved it in front of your faces...a straw man argument. And...what is the USUAL motive for developing a "straw man" argument? --I leave that to YOU to understand in terms of implications. The audience LAUGHED their asses off. I'll give you a hint as to why... These debates are nothing more than cuts and edits played as fodder for the masses in the largest ongoing cartoon ever developed. In effect...they REALIZE that the masses aren't too bright. Its entertaining for them to watch the reactions that they get for the stuff that they present you with. Most of you guys aren't even AWARE that everything is pre-planned before hand...all the way down to the little, petty insults. You guys sit around and argue about "WHO OWNED WHOM at the debates," as if your owners are in the background saying "That's a GOOD boy, you go GET 'EM." The bank that funds EACH of these guys is the candidate who is going to win...that bank is known as "Goldman and Sachs." I know that this is a VERY uncomfortable FACT which doesn't gain much popularity around here. You guys won't let something as silly and inconvenient as THE TRUTH get in the way of your bickering on which Fascist candidate has the right color. Have you guys ever thought about how you appear from an "outside perspective?" I know that this is going to be a VERY hard concept for many of you to understand for a couple of reasons, but, let's just say you were an ADVANCED species from a different solar system and you were running about checking on "intelligent life." --What would be your assessment of yourselves on a Universal scale? -Try and be realistic about this instead of automatically moving towards cynicism. What kind of grade would you actually give this particular civilization? I would call it a complete failure. Why? Because...the monkeys in the cage don't even realize that...THERE'S A CAGE. I agree and there is no way a half a billion dollars is going to big bird.If anything its money for something else sent to PBS.Maybe they are trying to save the Polar Bear |

BTW, how much waste has BO cut from medicare? While he was on his hopeychangey feelgood tour, he said that he knew of waste in medicare, I'm sure that he rectified it all, but haven't seen any numbers.
