From just the fiscal point, I doubt that the PBS issue could even rise to #500 on my list of government financial wastes to eliminate... but I do oppose the arrangement because of the worries about Big Government. We agree on that. Our government must do some things well, I am not sure what they are. The Constitution specifically permitted the federal government to provide for the Common Defense, provide a Unified Foreign Policy and provide a Common Currency. Going back to those duties alone would be fine with me. We could fire 95% of all federal employees. I suspect it would get rid of over 95% of all federal government waste. They could pay off the federal debt in a few years, and then reduce taxes by at least 80%. States would then be free to resurrect as much of the federal waste as they wished for themselves. Migration would reward efficient governments and punish inefficiency.
