Folks back home in Kansas have been forced to tighten their belts and rein in family budgets to weather tough times, and we don't understand why Washington isn't willing to do the same. The Federal Government should have only a few foundational duties. Among those are protecting our citizens, maintaining a strong infrastructure, and upholding our rights as outlined in the Constitution. Notably missing from this list is the funding of political radio shows, particularly those that operate with a litmus test. The Federal Government is leaking money left and right, and it's time to plug some holes. Today's YouCut proposal will save the American taxpayers over $100 million and will be proof that Congress is ready to shrink the size and scope of the Federal Government. I urge your support. Please oppose the previous question.
