And more courageous too. The God-Emperor follows through on one of Ronald Reagan’s failed promises:
President Donald Trump made good on a long-time conservative goal in his first proposed budget Thursday morning, targeting the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the National Endowments for the Arts and Humanities for complete elimination.
Trump’s budget would zero out the $445 million budget for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a relatively small source of funding for programming and broadcast operations on public TV stations and NPR radio stations nationwide, per the Washington Post.
The budget would also eliminate the budgets for both national endowments, which stood at $148 million each in 2016, as well as $230 million for the Institute of Museum and Library Services, which supports libraries and museums. Additional cuts would affect two tourist mainstays in Washington, D.C., the Smithsonian Institution and the National Gallery of Art.
One can practically hear the liberal shrieking from across the ocean. President Trump hasn’t even been in office for 60 days and he’s already proven to be better than the most lionized conservative president the Republicans have ever had.
It should be informative to see which Congressional Republicans cuck on this, just as they’ve tried to cuck on Obamacare. It is becoming increasingly clear that they never actually intended to do anything they promised since 1980. It is also becoming obvious that anything is on the table. He may well abolish the Department of Education too.
It’s amusing to see the opposition media ping-pong from complaining about how the Wall will cost too much with claiming that $971 million is just a tiny drop in the bucket so there is no reason to cut it. But that’s $971 million more that can go towards the Wall and making America great again.
Now let’s see him eliminate Hollywood’s tax exemptions, as Glenn Reynolds has repeatedly suggested.
