Romney's Big Bird comments spark response from the bird himself

Uh oh.

In Wednesday night's first presidential debate, Republican candidate Mitt Romney upset an unlikely...person?

"I'm sorry, Jim. I'm going to the stop the subsidy to PBS. I like Big Bird. I like you," Romney said.

Debate moderator Jim Lehrer works for PBS.

Me: Mitt Romney wants everyone to know that he loves Big Bird.
Mom: Yes, but he wouldn't give him health care if he broke his wing.

Subsidies for PBS and NPR are a fucking drop in the bucket. It's like $500 million. FUCKING DROP IN THE BUCKET. What a fucking tool.

Maybe that's his fucked up definition of "penny pinching." =____=

IA, tbh! i think it's a kind of common opinion here though, based on the comments in this post.

I don't think it has to be drastic hacking and slashing cuts either, but I feel like there's a lot of unnecessary waste going on and cutting that would definitely help. And honestly, I actually want to work in military/homeland security/defense research & development. But I still feel there's a lot of waste in the system and it would benefit everyone to get rid of it.

Hell, I work for a company that is a subcontractor for the military (at least my part of it) and I totally agree.

Welcome to the logical side. Where spending money the right makes it go farther and makes sense.
