Another Letter to Rep. Raul Labrador

I understand President Trump is considering defunding the National Endowment for the Arts, National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.  Please support these efforts.

While NEH often funds work of real value in my area of interest (history) our budget deficit is far more important.  I have yet to see that NEA has ever funded anything of value.

While PBS is sometimes of some value, National Propaganda Radio is clearly a partisan operation and of negative value.  The billionaires who fund the Democratic Party can spend their money funding elitist garbage instead of forcing me to do so.

Actually, a person of any good sense and taste would have simply carted it out to the trash.
