Sure cut NPR along with everything else that's not 100% necessary and we'll save a little bit of money (likely to be immediately diverted into defense funding). While school systems flounder and not only can't support arts and music but are beginning to cut funding for science and technology lets symbolically cut a sliver of our budget that resonates with the sheepish masses. Why do anything constructive, Americans want a lot of stuff but aren't willing to pay for it, or even to say that rich Americans should pay for it in a way that's fair to everyone. No one needs a Million dollars a year, or a 25000 week long stay in a posh hotel. But the idea that someday dumb Americans with no skills from the middle of nowhere will be rich and might have to pay higher taxes than rich people now is ridiculous. I just don't see what the point is of debating the NPR cuts, when it doesn't make any difference. The idea that this is a legitimate effort to save money in the overall budget is stupid.
