President Trump Signs Executive Order to Defund NPR and PBS

[BCP1928]

OK, we all have our priorities for spending by the federal government. Personally, I believe that education should be a state and local function with decisions made at the local levels. I'm fine with revenue sharing if we want the rich states to subsidize the poorer states. IMO, the federal governments only role should be to enforce civil rights, employment and health standards at schools, and provide funds to the local governments.

A country that cannot even provide health care for its citizens and cannot provide a decent safety net for its poor SHOULD NOT spend money administering and choosing which education programs to fund. And, yes, I am a liberal and would prefer that there be NO Department of Education. It does not take a department to transfer monies from the federal government to the states. .

This country will not provide health care for its citizens nor a decent safety safety net for its poor whether there is Pubic media or not.
