Donald Trump's proposed budget is a house of horrors. If the budget were to go into effect, countless vital programs would see their funds cut drastically. The EPA? I hope you weren't worried about climate change. NEA? Who needs art when you have tanks? The State Department? Who needs diplomacy—we're building more tanks! Meals on Wheels? Sorry, we traded the wheels for tank treads.

Donald Trump's Budget Proposal Basically Tells Poor Americans They're On Their Own This is the lack of empathy president.

It goes on from there, with the military being the biggest beneficiary of this garbage accounting. One of the main groups that would see its funding destroyed is the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Now, in some ways this isn't shocking. Donald Trump doesn't exactly strike me as someone who would enjoy Masterpiece Theatre. And the kids’ programming that has defined the childhoods of the last three or four generations? Well, I somehow have a feeling that Donald Trump's kids had enough nannies that Donald never had to be burdened with learning about Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. Hell, if he had, he'd probably try a real estate play there and evict the old man while refusing to rent to Daniel Tiger. But one show Donald is definitely familiar with, and may in fact be one of the reasons he'd be happy to see PBS defunded? Sesame Street.

Now, sure, Sesame Street has been THE kids' TV show forever. But as loving and positive as Sesame Street has always been, there's one person it's always loved mocking... I think you know where this is going. From The Washington Post:

Granted, Sesame Street is now underwritten by HBO (which airs new episodes months before they go on PBS for free), so this decision wouldn't kill off Big Bird, but it could cause public-broadcasting stations to shut down, forcing kids from lower-income families who can't afford HBO to stop spending time with their tall, feathered friend. Which is too bad—between that yellow-headed sweetheart and Donald Trump, only one of them has the right temperament to be president.
