German paper called him "Robin Hood of the Rich" because of the budget proposal, since he's taking from the poor and giving to the rich.

Okay, I gotta object here.  Cutting a program that benefits the poor isn't taking money from the poor.  It's not "their" money - it's a government program.  And cutting tax rates for the rich is not giving them money - it was already their money!  The government is just taking less of it.

As a matter of general philosophy I like the idea of shrinking government, and cutting taxes.  What astounds me is that seeming indifference to the budget deficit.

Why is that astounding? It is a tradition established by Reagan. Whenever the Republicans are in power they work to bankrupt us. American Republicans are not like Burkean Conservatives.

Well except Bush 41. And we saw how well that went for him.

You are straying from the Socialist narrative and therefore evil.

I'd say I'm astounded by how much of an asshole you are, but it's not really all that astounding.

I'd be happy to see the National Endowments ditched.

Why? I will miss the little caption about the NEH before every PBS documentary.

Not that their budgets are just really huge.

Because funding art and literature is a silly thing for the government to be involved in, the benefits of which extend to a tiny fraction of the population.

Hey! Millions of people watched those docu...ok you are probably right.

But the real reason is political I think. I think the Republicans think most NEH and NEA money goes to fund leftwing anti-American projects.

In Sweden the state broadcaster's educational arm (Utbildningsradion) is an openly racist organization.

It preaches the purity of the mighty viking race?

And that's the kind of tinsel and window dressing they dangle to conservatives to distract from the fact that this budget proposal is the worst clusterfuck in an accounting document since Enron was still a public company.

Wasn't Reading Rainbow funded in part by the NEA?
