Why should taxpayer pay for one of the most successful and rich brands? Sesame Street could easily be self sustaining. Nowhere does it say in the Constitution that the government should fund any of this type of thing. This is why we are swimming in debt! Would you agree with the government providing funding to conservative media? If you are honest you would not.
Sesame Workshop, Inc. (SW), originally known as the Children’s Television Workshop, Inc. (CTW), is an American NONPROFIT organization that has been responsible for the production of several educational children’s programs—including its first and best-known, Sesame Street—that have been televised internationally.
PBS shows have always been donation-based, not self-sustaining, which is why they consistently have network pledge drives. I wouldn’t want my taxes going toward funding for any media that is specifically conservative OR liberal, but I certainly don’t mind them funding Sesame Street, which famously teaches kids about sensitive real world issues that haven’t courted any legitimate controversy in the show’s 55 years of existence.
We are swimming in debt because the government spends more money than it can ever get from the 100% — taking every dime from “the one percent” would fund the government glut for a few weeks, if that.

Ummm, we’re swimming in debt from giving tax breaks to the one percent. And it looks like your boy wants to continue what he started. Shame, shame.
