    I got an easier one for you,, just come up with a very short list of those politicians that realize we are in trouble, belt tighten, and are not public service whores.

    I can't even think of one.... sadly.

    I agree that during tough economic times the "fluffy" stuff like $90,000 to the transportation museum has got to go.

    The money should first be spent on stuff that will support economic development and job creation, etc.

    Let the wine and cheese B.S. raise its own money.

    I like how Chris Collins was on the news talking about the Erie County Legislators and how he berated them for wanting to shell out too much money to the Hamburg Historical Society or something; he implied that it was frivolity.

    But, as some have pointed out, the people who run such "culturals" are better at-- LITERALLY-- wining and dining the public officials to get them to donate money to their "causes." Whereas the "drier" stuff such as job creation, economic incentives, etc. might not be as "lively" or worthy of such "patronizing..." Literal and figurative "patronizing" I mean.
    I'm just here to make people laugh. And to confuse people. Oh, and to irritate people.

    I don't think we should stop funding for the Boys and Girls Club. This benefits any boy or girl and not just some.
    First Amendment rights are like muscles, if you don't exercise them they will atrophy.

    Let them fight for charitable donations like anyone else!

    News Flash, WE'RE BROKE!

    We got people crying that babies are starving, can't get medical attention and the Governor says we gotta expand HEAP because money is too tight and families can't even afford to heat their homes!

    Thumbs up time to answer

    O boy, o boy, o boy!!
    Have anyone of you understand how the budget work, especially, non-for -profit snad what policies, procedures, and requerment they have to follow?

    You can talk and blame, but can you educate or, at least do your home work, figure out, and inform the public why do you use the "free cheesers" terminology?

    Any one is willing to answer this questions?

    Why do you call yourself "Free Cheese"? Why not to call yourself "Free Bolony or Salami"? Explain.

    Free Cheese subsidies were given out by the government. People used to line up to get the cheese, literally.

    The myth with "free cheese" subsidies is that they aren't "free". Everything has a cost to taxpayers, including all the other "free" social programs the government initiates "for free".

    Take a different position: taxpayers pay for it.
