                                                       Will there be PBS in the future?

              During the debate last night, Romney said that he would remove subsidies to PBS. Romney knows the the moderator, Jim Lehrer also works for PBS. Romney didn't really plan on making it sound so bad, but why does he need to remove PBS?

              Many people in the United States love PBS and Big Bird. and to remove it wouldn't be a great idea. The money coming from China for PBS is an investment of only 1/100th of 1%. However, Mitt Romney plans to use that money for something else. That amount of money will not change anything positively. Many people will complain about not having PBS, while Romney plans to keep that money for other things.

            In the end, for over forty years, Big Bird has been a huge character in the eyes of young children, and just to remover the channel with his show will cause a lot of problems in the United States. Removing PBS will change no debt, but the loss of PBS will cause problems from an American standpoint.
