Or here’s a question: If America owes 16 trillion dollars, and only spends 300 million dollars on PBS in one year, how many PBSes would have to be killed to reach 16 trillion?

The answer? 53,333.33.

Over 53,000 PBSes need to be axed to pay off the debt.

Or, you know, you could focus on the really costly things like the war in Afghanistan, tax holes for millionaires and billionaires, corporate welfare… But no. Romney (and his supporters like Bish or McCoy) would rather just thump their chest about making cuts to the budget, but they only really pick on penny ante things for political reasons. Hence so much talk among conservatives about defunding PBS or Planned Parenthood or anything else they just don’t like. It has nothing to do with the actual cost in terms of dollars and cents, but is instead about their personal beliefs. They just use the budget as a convenient excuse to attack it.

Though I will give Bish credit for one thing: Romney looks suitably creepy here. Like a vulture and a cartoon undertaker in one. (That’s probably not intended, though)
