Most countries need a military and need protection for their head of state. A country doesn't "need" to have a publicly funded hard-left news organization.

We also don't "need" tax breaks for billionaires, but here we are.

I never said we did. The point was that there will always be things that I don’t like and you don't like that are going to be funded. Whether we "need" to have them is beside the point. And once something begins getting public funding, it's damn near impossible to get rid of. It's the nature of the legislative beast, with its lobbyists and interest groups and all that goes with it.
