What's on Tonight
NOW ON PBS
Driven to Despair |  With gas prices spiking and home values crumbling, the American dream of commuting to work from the fringes of suburbia has become an American nightmare. Many are facing a hard choice: Paying for gas or paying the mortgage. How did it come to this? It's not just about America's financial crisis; it's also about big problems with our national infrastructure. Overstressed highways and too few public transportation options are wreaking havoc on people's lives and hitting the brakes on our already-stretched economy.
This week, NOW on PBS takes a close-up look at our inadequate transportation network and visits some people paying a high price—in both dollars and quality of life—just to get to work. Do we have the means to modernize both our infrastructure and our lifestyles?

Tell Them Public MattersAdministration's Budget Proposal Includes Unprecedented Cuts for Public BroadcastingFor 2009 and 2010, the Administration has proposed cuts to public broadcast funding that, if enacted, would slash 56 percent of our annual budget. Every Cut Means "One Less"With every dollar cut from the budget of public broadcasting, there is the potential of "one less." One less child who will learn to count with the characters of Sesame Street. One less rural community that will have access to the news, cultural and educational programming public radio and television provide. One less educational Web site available to our nation's schools. When the Funding is ProvidedWhen the funding is provided, what is accomplished is truly immeasurable. We can expand our local news coverage. Develop more programs like Capitol Hill Radio Unit, which have been such a success. We can continue to fund public television's Between the Lions and public radio's Heartland Chronicles. We can assure stations serving rural and minority communities that they will receive the funding they so desperately depend on. Read more...
