Did you hear PBS will start airing commercials? They know it's coming...

3. Yeah, because it's that massive NPR/PBS budget that's causing the deficit
Not the $400 billion annually paid in interest on the national debt (which predominately goes to the top 1%). No no no! It's paying a guy to stick his hand up a puppet's ass and sing about the letter "Q".

4. I am so sick and tired of this bullshit...
The neocons will use the debt as an excuse to de-fund and destroy everything that helps
average citizens and doesn't promote their Fascist agenda.

I am really tired of hearing them go haywire over the debt, when it comes to PBS, food stamps, Social
Security and funding the arts--just to name a few. They use the debt excuse to obliterate every
program or policy that doesn't further their nonsense.

Meanwhile, we get to see billions spent on war, and the Pentagon get a blank check--while we
offer billions to corporations in the form of welfare, bailouts and tax tricks.

It's just so sick.

It's like some crazy millionaire scream at his wife for buying ice cream or going to the movies--when
he drives a Ferrari and belongs to the Country Club.

This is abusive and it is an affront to every US citizen who isn't a neocon criminal scumbag.

6. Yup. It is abusive to take something away because you took something (tax cuts for the rich).
