More on spending cuts

Hi

Ti understand the scope of necessary spending cuts we must look at all programs and weed out those which are either too costly or do not work.

The new Republican House has proposed cuts in specific programs, the first is Public Broadcasting. Why do we taxpayers subsidize public broadcasting? I love to watch opera on TV but I should pay for it, not every other (or at least the 50% who pay income taxes) citizen. The estimated savings would be $445 million. The irony of the situation is that the liberal democrats wanted to pass a "Fairness" doctrine to balance conservative leaning talk radio. Where in our Constitution is Congress empowered to regulate speech? We must make sure we elect common sense people to run our government. Remember on election day.

In my nest blog I will enumerate additional cuts which could be made.

Meanwhile, pray for our defenders.
GOD Bless
