The rescission package passed congress late Thursday
evening (or maybe early Friday) and is headed to President Trump's desk,
where he will certainly sign it.
The
package essentially kills USAID and puts a big ding in PBS. Personally
I like PBS. I watch a lot of their entertainment programming. I am a
paid-up member. Way back, in the last century, I used to watch their
news pretty regular. The Bay Area PBS channel had a really good local
news program and their PBS national news program was NOT nothing but
left-wing propaganda. That was then. PBS has done nothing resembling
real news for years. They are functionally the PR and Propaganda arm of
the DNC.
In addition,
again way back when, there was a good reason to fund PBS from the
taxpayer. Not so much any more. You can get news from literally dozens
of sources. In dozens of languages. The taxpayers don't need to fund
it, so they shouldn't. I will continue to be a member. I do that
voluntarily. I don't need the government to pick my pocket to do it for
me. And I sure as hell don't need them to steal from me to pay for
bullshit.
