Do the Math, it is worth it!

  1. Take my $1.37… I want PBS.
    Take my $.46… I am all for federal funding of art programs.
    Take my $.46… I love my museums, colleges, and libraries.
    Take my $.11… I support developing minority businesses.
    Take my $.66… I am for entrepreneurship and innovation.
    Take my $1.60… I want us to export more goods overseas.
    Take my $0.43… I would like to see more American manufacturing.
    Take my $0.88… I think community policing needs vast improvement.
    Take my $1.48… I support programs for women.
    Take my $1.55… I believe in due process for all.
    Take my $0.48… We need a civil rights division in the justice department.
    Take my $0.38… I think we need to defend our Mother Earth.
    Take my $0.03… I know more work needs to be done for climate change.
    Take my $8.95… because we need more sustainable energy.
    Take my $2.71… we should reduce our carbon footprint.

If saving these programs means I’m out $22.36 a year, I’m good with contributing my $.07 a day to save American jobs and these federal programs.

Numbers taken from a report in Time about what the roles of the 17 federal agencies trump has threatened and how much they cost the average taxpayer.
*But tell me again the cost per American to build an absolutely unnecessary wall between us and Mexico*
