"GIVE FEEDBACK (or reach out via: https://JosephMLenard.us/contact)"CTP (S3EMaySpecial8) The DOGE Cuts Reality CheckExploring more of the fascinating intersection of Activism, Community Engagement, Faith / Religion, Human Nature, Politics, Social Issues, and beyond - all in Biblical perspectiveI push back on the “DOGE cuts” panic by putting the numbers in context and asking why a few billion in trims gets sold like a catastrophe inside a multi-trillion-dollar federal budget. I also argue that public broadcasting and many political spending narratives survive on emotion and headlines rather than clear math, clear accountability, and honest tradeoffs. • questioning claims that DOGE cuts are widespread and severe • explaining why Congress must codify cuts for permanence • comparing a few billion in cuts to a roughly $7T budget • arguing growth alone cannot erase a structural deficit • making the case for voluntary funding of NPR and PBS • clarifying what cutting CPB funding does and does not do • critiquing baseline budgeting and calling for real cuts • challenging “balanced budget” claims from past eras • calling for facts, context, and measurable outcomes over spin SEND US FEEDBACK: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2210487/fan_mail/new https://tinyurl.com/SubscribeToCTP  CTP Audios: https://tinyurl.com/CTPonBuzzsprout CTP Videos: https://tinyurl.com/CTPonBITCHUTE https://tinyurl.com/CTPgear  https://tinyurl.com/JLenardDetroitGear   A Short Story: A Lasting Legacy? book Trailer Support the showJLenardDetroit SUBSCRIBE- Author, Blogger, Podcaster
