Comment of the day at Politico

GOP senators put 'Sesame Street' on chopping block - On Congress - POLITICO.com: "Every argument here for de-funding CPB can also be applied to agriculture subsidies, oil subsidies, Wall Street sudsidies and any other subsidy for a free market entity. I especially agree with DeMint's and Colburn's argument that these entities can survive without taxpayer dollars. And does DeMint also find it unacceptable for oil and Wall Street executives to receive six-figure salaries while getting public tax dollars?. How about seven or eight figures?"
