When the Non-Political Is Political Afterall
TheLegacy began by saying: "I'd like to get back into the subject of broadcasting with this political topic."
But then we heard about funding for public broadcasting, an ultra political topic.
Frankly public broadcasting in the U.S. is a failure, as is the National Foundation for the Arts, or whatever the arts mafia is called. Millions of dollars wasted on the sterile gentrification of the airwaves, only glorified by its own promotion. The sole advantage provided by PBS and NPR is that it employs a lot of LBGTQ.
Spending the money on weapons and parades is also stupid, but low-brow is a life-style and not a beer.
If the president has shown anything, it's that Tweeting is far less costly than public radio and television.

This country was built by immigrants who came here and worked hard to learn our language, learn our customs and melt into our society.
That's not the problem. The problem is those immigrants (read illegal) that don't work with the system. Is it really so difficult to obtain citizenship? Why must these people sneak into the country, knowing they are taking a risk, having to live in the shadows. The law is the law and not a new law.
The idea of "the wall" is not President Trumps'. The wall was started years ago. Border agents have a very dangerous job and they welcome the idea of completing the project.
If these immigrants want to be here, then that's fine. But be Americans and don't require ME to "press 1 for English."

I'd like to get back into the subject of broadcasting with this political topic. It was mentioned that Trump is talking about eliminating Federal funding for Public Broadcasting and here is where this would coincide with making the playing field more even. LPFM stations are expected to find funding from their listeners and local supporters in town or the community that they are licensed in. National public radio or NPR has gotten away with Federal funding and thus many translators near communities whare the same programming is receivable on many portions of the dial. Eliminating Federal funding for this type of action might actually help clear up the FM band and allow a Level Playing Field for LPFM and possibly a second service for micro broadcasters but that is wishful thinking. Don't get me wrong I've still given up on any sort of FM initiative because of the way the band has become overcrowded. But if this does happen it could make things a little more level for local radio programming instead of these public broadcasting stations in which get most of their programming from One Source and rebroadcast it all over the place. I think it was this form if I'm not mistaking where people were complaining about the delocalisation of radio. I a sense mr. Trump may have a revitalization of radio in his head. I'd like to find out just what this plan really is and could this be the reason for Less funding to the FCC. In other words is mr. Trump going to think about state ran radio stations or local Municipal involvement ran radio stations? One needs to think outside the box with this plan of his. Before I retired I spent 5 years commuting between my PA and MI home and job. On the low end of the FM band it seemed there was always 4 or 5 Public radio stations broadcasting the same content during my 600 mile drive. What a waste of spectrum! |

Me First
It has been said: "Be Americans and don't require ME to "press 1 for English.""
The Americas comprise the totality of the continents of North and South America plus their associated islands. Within this vast territory many languages exist, of which English is not an American language but a European one, along with the Spanish influenced Latin American language.
True American languages were and are spoken by Amerindians, the Inuit and Aluets, as well as multiple tribes subjected to genocide by the hard working immigrants who learned the English language.
The states of Texas and New Mexico were originally part of the country of Mexico until taken in the Mexican war with the States in 1846.
As an international organization the ALPB speaks only Simple English, and is therefore unable to represent a truly international membership.
Pressing 1 on the telephone may offer the Latin American language because it's the world's most spoken language next to English, but there will never be enough touch-tones to serve the over 5,000 languages of the world.

Walls, Borders and Miscommunication
There are walls between minds as well as borders.
People often don't speak the same language even if they use a single language.
The ALPB is international in the spirit of global radio spectrum.

Sovereign ThoughtsJim Henry declares: " Every sovereign nation has the right to protect its borders." No doubt about it. But we don't need protection from desperate Venezuelans fleeing from violence and others struggling to survive in the world. Cruelty toward them makes us seem paranoid and quite unchristian. If sovereign borders were important to the U.S. we wouldn't be invading so many countries borders all over the world. As great a nation as we are, we do not have the wealth to welcome everyone in the world who want to leave their nation for ours. Sad but true. Sometimes people need to solve their own problems. We paid a terrible price in blood and treasure to win our freedom from the evil empire of the day. These other folks from Venezueala, Honduras, Guatemala, and Mexico might have to make the same sacrifice. |

The Irrational Dance
Jim Henry: "As great a nation as we are, we do not have the wealth to welcome everyone in the world who want to leave their nation for ours."
If we cut back on drones and bombs there'd be more wealth to share. Such silly talk.

I don't see what this has to do with broadcasting, but since I did not start this thread, I'll respond. I would really like someone to show me where in our Constitution the federal government is authorized to perform or fund any of these functions, such as public broadcasting, Section 8 housing, Medicaid, Food Stamps, and LIHEAP. Those programs exist now and have existed for decades, they are entrenched in our society and economy and can't just be pulled out of the economy without serious deleterious effects and I'm going to ask, if we abolish these programs what are we supposed to do with the millions of working poor, disabled, and elderly who currently rely on these programs for their survival? not to mention how are we suppose to prevent another great depression when we abolish these programs? remember for every dollar spent on these programs they generate 1.50-2.00 in economic activity. just let them die in the streets without any care like we did before FDR instituted many of these programs? These programs were created for a reason and most have forgotten the reasons these programs were created. here is a little bit of history on social welfare and why these programs were created it is a very comprehensive history,,,, socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/and with the likely locking of the thread that will ensue shortly, this thread will be continued at my forums here,,,, classichits1630am.freeforums.net/thread/135/money-markets |

Carl's Wake Up Call
Good morning tent cities under viaducts and in the backlots of America!
Jim Henry asks: "I would really like someone to show me where in our Constitution the federal government is authorized to perform or fund any of these functions, such as public broadcasting, Section 8 housing, Medicaid, Food Stamps, and LIHEAP."
All right, let's educate Jim.
The things you mention aren't prohibited by the Constitution. That's all. Real easy. Therefore the government is able to make humanitarian decisions to aid and assist it's constituency and educational institutions.
It would look bad if there were dead bodies all over the place.

The other needs can and should be covered by the states, and by charity, as our founders intended. Currently these programs are widely abused. Just look at how many people are on SSI. And don't get me started on FDR, the guy wanted to be a king, put thousands of Japanese-Americans into concentration camps, and threatened to throw out the Supreme Court if they didn't go along with him. I'll go back to my original question "I would really like someone to show me where in our Constitution the federal government is authorized to perform or fund any of these functions, such as public broadcasting, Section 8 housing, Medicaid, Food Stamps, and LIHEAP." |

I knew it wouldn't be long before someone mentioned the general welfare clause. But here is what it means, from the Founders themselves. It does not go beyond the Federal government's powers as enumerated in the Constitution: General WelfareSPENDING FOR THE GENERAL WELFARE
Any powers that are not specifically given to the Federal government in the U.S. Constitution belong to the states, or the people.

We Are a Great Bunch
Members of the ALPB have the astounding ability to all emerge as TRUE and CORRECT while also seemingly holding different points of view.
It just proves that all roads lead to where they go, no matter how far you take them.
The world's top leaders should consult with us and we'll straighten it all out!
FDR. Ya, him. I think he was the first one to use radio.
