Shutdown: Cancer Treatments
Defunded, Big Bird Receives $445 Million

It seems impossible to make sense
of a president who would threaten to veto a compromise funding bill to cover
cancer treatments for children sick with cancer, while public television and
radio stations receive almost a half-billion dollars in funding. Via Fox News:
Funding for clinical cancer trials
and other life-saving research under the National Institutes of Health was cut
off in response to the government slimdown, but it looks like the cookie
monster will still be knee-deep in chocolate chips (or is it carrots now?)
According to the Daily Treasury
Statement and first reported by CNS News, the administration dished out $445
million to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) on the first day of
the slimdown, which means funds for the likes of PBS Newshour, NPR and “Sesame Street” are being spent before
cancer research.
“It’s more than irresponsible, it
is reprehensible. It’s an ‘in-your-face’ move by the administration, blatantly
picking winners and losers in this shutdown,” C. Edmund Wright, a columnist for
Breitbart.com and American Thinker, told FOX411. “Public broadcasting is a
staple of liberal propaganda.”
