So?

The 2007 US Federal budget is about $983B (that is billion with a B). The
CPB budget is about $347M (million with a M).

The math works out to about 0.036% of the total budget. That is a
rounding error.

In the era of $250M Alaskan bridges to nowhere there are far more
appropriate targets for your energy and anger other than the CPB.

Try taking a look here for some more egregious targets for your zeal.

donations, and many states give a direct tax credit. Then there are the
sponsors who supply production money - for a write-off ... goes on and on.
