The Trumped up Budget

This is not a political blog.

Even so we are interested in some of the political maneuverings and goings on over the Federal Budget. We believe President Trump has outsmarted the Dems.

Here's how.

In the budget Trump eliminates funding for the National Endowment for the Arts, Public Broadcasting Systems, National Public Radio, and of course Planned Parenthood.

These are boutique agencies that most people couldn't care less about, but which feed the liberal's soul. Already I see my liberal friends posting articles and cartoons about the NEA or PBS and adorning their profile picks to I LOVE NPR buttons.

So they're going to fight tooth and nail over All Things Considered rather than defense spending.

This will use up precious bandwidth and further alienate Dems from the rest of the country. Trump even framed the question right, why should we make a coal miner pay for Masterpiece Theater? We have 500 TV channels. No one cares about Big Bird.
