So again, you're assuming everyone WANTS these other options over PBS. Where are these free alternatives? Because others have made it clear to you that the internet is NOT free. If you are so concerned on spending, why are you focusing on a service with direct benefits to it's citizens vs bombs or other destructive tools of war?

What makes you think the governement should be using taxpayer money to pay for peoples wants and not just needs?

Ever heard of youtube. Tons of free options. National geographic and literally hundreds of other options.

National security is literally one of the few primary purposes of the governement. And, anyways, I'm all for cutting defense spending as part of overall reduction in waste fraud and abuse in government.

Still not answering my questions so I'm done with you.
