Not a political debate, merely a correction:
No one is planning on "possibly getting rid of PBS".
He would merely stop providing taxpayer funds to it which would represent around 15% of PBS' yearly income.
Given that this amount will most likely be replaced by viewer donations, perhaps your new handle should be the more accurately descriptive PAYPBS.
Which, as far as balancing the budget goes, is like deleting notepad and text files to free up space on a 500GB hard drive
I don't sit in on the economic policy meetings of Romney, but I suspect they might also plan on removing Media Center, various MS programs and a crapload of standard application programs.
I don't really care about the political/economic ramifications of these measures.
All I was really concerned with was accuracy of statement.
Another big reason I never made it through politician school.
