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.http://www.thewrap.com/trump-budget-killing-funding-pbs-npr-national-endowment-arts-public-broadcasting/
Wonder how many true conservatives out there who disagree with this move?
Who could ever imagine a broadcasting corporation getting tax exempt status? Until this exempt status is revoked, they are still a government subsidized enterprise.
About damned time. I hope he can make it stick. The lefties are going to be screaming unholy hell about this.
Not a chance in hell with what passes for congressional leadership currently in place!
You get an exemption on your income tax if you fill out a 1040.Are you then a government subsidized enterprise?
I only wish that people could give me money and then claim it as a deductible donation. I'd become the biggest tax shelter in the country.
What's the point you are trying to make?
Poster said Who could ever imagine a broadcasting corporation getting tax exempt status? Until this exempt status is revoked, they are still a government subsidized enterprise.I said that every person that fills out a 1040 form gets a tax exemption for breathing.So the point is "So what?"There must be just a very, very few taxpayers or companies that do not get an exemption.
I'm going out on a limb here, but I would take a wild bet that you are not an accountant or a tax attorney. But that's just a guess.
I like it.
Trump Budget Proposes Killing All Funding for PBS, NPR and National Endowment for the Arts
Good. Till you've got the right people screaming bloody murder, you aren't doing the job properly. Leftists should be driven to suicide, as often as possible.
