Four Premium Stars



The preamble to the US Constitution says our federal government was established to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity. Nowhere in there does it say federal money should be funding the Public Broadcasting System. It’s not that I don’t think PBS is a worthy cause. I’ve made donations to PBS for many years, and so can you. But just because it’s a worthy cause doesn’t mean our federal government should go deeper into debt to support it. In fact, that’s probably the least efficient way to fund any worthy cause. I’d be willing to bet serious money that our country could operate in the black if it only wrote checks for things the founding fathers originally intended.
