I disagree with this. CPB should be on a long list of cuts filed on day one.

I don't see any reason political capital would even need to be spent on defunding CPB, NPR, PBS, NEH, NEA, all those things. It seems non-controversial. There's no reason for such funding - period. Simply do it and don't argue about it. Do you really think because you like some program or other, the government needs to be throwing money away on such things? The only reason any political capital would be spent is if we have a lot of Republicans trying to be Democrat-Lites and we don't need anymore of that. If we can't stop funding crap like this, the country is doomed. It's not the amount of money involved in these things, its the principle. How can you get rid of any wasteful spending if you can't get rid of such apparent examples. If we can't kill NPR funding, we can't kill ANY government program ever.
