There are other models for funding Sesame street besides using tax dollars. Sesame street branded products are a $billion business. The beneficiaries of this trade should be willing to pay to get the show on somewhere to keep the gravy train rolling. No Sesame Street on TV would be about as disruptive to American life. Not a good idea.

Limited government is a great theory, but don't take away Sesame Street. Fine. I vote we save Sesame Street and sacrifice Jim Lehrer instead.

no one said they were taking away children programs. It was pbs in their ads to upset the public , that said congress wants to take away your children programs. Sesame street is a marketable product any of the cable and maybe networks would pick up. I vote cut at least $300,000 million from pbs, start with mcLaughlin lehrer programs and continue to other political , liberal programs. doesn't pbs have something like showcase theatre, sponsored by mobil for forty years and maybe now xon...i expect you could move a program like that to the Hallmark channel. Who's needs gov to pay for pbs.. not me.
