Romney lost me for good when he threatened to take PBS away from my almost 2-year-old.
;P
How dare him?
Big Bird
Apparently dim bulb Mutt Rutney (sarcasm) doesn't understand that Big Bird is a cultural icon who can't be relegated to the trash heap!
Some things simply can't be reduced to dollars and cents.
pBS is 1% of 1% of the budget. You are not going to balance the budget on the back of PBS. Lets talk about the military budget!!!
Did you see Neil deGrasse Tyson's tweet? "Cutting PBS support (0.012% of budget) to help balance the Federal budget is like deleting text files to make room on your 500Gig hard drive"
He's one smart cookie.
hahaha
I personally liked the "China" test Romney says he would employ to decide what items would be cut.
PBS is a minuscule amount however thousands of those minuscule amounts would make a difference.
I love Big Bird as much as the next person.
