Nolan Finley crosses over to the dark side.By KG One, Section News
Washington is in trouble.
I don't mean a little trouble like presidential scandals, bureaucratic incompetence or the diplomatic faux pas caused by forgetting the birthday of the newest leader of Elbonia. No, I mean a financial time-bomb in the $14.2-trillion dollar range and rising (Thanks GOP for your outstanding financial stewardship with the CR-extension, but I digress). We need to cut spending, like, yesterday.
The DNC proposed something in the neighborhood of $10-billion. The GOP $100-billion. In light of the fiscal collapse coming our way, that's literally shooting a BB gun at a freight train. It's a shame the GOP they didn't take a cue from within their own ranks. Rep Bachmann was able to find $105-billion secretly buried in Obamacare. Sen. Colburn found $200-billion in redundant federal agencies. And Sen. Paul came up with half a trillion dollars in cuts. Of course, with all of the talk about cuts, you'll be hearing more and more from those who made a career on the public teat. So what does this have to do with The Detroit News Editor Nolan Finley?

The powers of Congress are few and defined.
Part of this financial mess that I alluded to earlier directly relates to Congress getting involved with and spending money on things that it has absolutely no business doing...like the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
Your tax dollars are paying this man's salary. Yes, True Believers, the same CPB that gave us the likes of Nina Totenberg and Vivian Schiller and that card carrying member of the self-described intellectual elite Ron Schiller (see above clip) is back on the chopping block (again). But, Mr. Finley of The Detroit News thinks that because of the likes of "Sesame Street" and "Mr. Rogers", the $1.35-billion taken from taxpayers and borrowed from our good friends the Chinese Government and spent on the CPB isn't a bad investment. I'm sure that his little stint with Debbie Dingell on the local PBS Station didn't factor into his editorial, either. I mean, he's got a point. Where else can you find educational children's programming? Besides, Nick Jr., Discovery Kids, Animal Planet and National Geographic? And I'm certain that there aren't any educational titles available to view at home on Blu-Ray and DVD? Or news programming? Besides Fox News, WJR, and that wonderful thing you're reading this on right now, the internet? Nope, you're right Mr. Finley. There aren't any good arguments for cutting CPB funding. C'mon. It's not as if people can freely donate as much money as they want to support what they watch or even "advertise" on PBS? Why, that's just plain silly.
