As most of these PSA types of things air late in the evening or in the early morning hours, the government probably got some bang for their buck regarding cost of airtime. However, does a PSA make a sound if there are no ears to hear it?

The $200,000 for public service announcements constitutes one second of federal spending, so we're going to have to come up with a lot more cuts than that.
