Physicist Neil deGrasse Tyson sums up Romney's position on PBS perfectly [View all]

Cutting PBS support (0.012% of budget) to help balance the Federal budget is like deleting text files to make room on your 500Gig hard drive

The notion that PBS is somehow a drain on the federal budget is laughable at best. It just further illustrates how far out of touch the rethugs are with reality.

You know what WOULD put a dent in the federal budget? Scaling back our military, pulling all of our troops out of the Middle East and Afghanistan, and closing down the majority of our overseas military bases. And do we really need to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on new high-tech jet fighters, naval destroyers, and tanks? We could turn technology back twenty years and still enjoy a huge advantage over almost everybody else.
