Description
federal funding, rescissions package, wasteful spending, PBS, Democracy FundTranscriptLook, $9 billion worth of crap that was in our federal funding that is now being rescinded. This is a good thing for the American people and the American taxpayer, and I think our Office of Management and Budget Director was saying this process should be more bipartisan. Democrats, there was a time in this country where Democrats, too, cared about getting rid of waste, fraud, and abuse in our federal spending. I think every American the government spends way too much money on things that don't matter. Some of those things includes PBS and NPR. Or, for instance, the Democracy Fund, which was funded to the tune of $83 million through the Department of State, but they were giving hundreds of thousands of dollars for gender equality and empowerment hubs in Yemen, $3.9 million for strengthening information integrity, equality, and democracy for LGBTQI population of the West, Western Balkans.
