DOT-GOV Radio Ads?

I'm over here in Riga, Lativa, so for to keep a finger on what's happening back home, I listen to streaming radio (normally WRKO outa' Boston). There are countless "public service" ads that are for various dot-gov agencies, for everything on how to save electricity, have your kids eat "healthy" to even one with The Chosen One Himself telling you to visit the dot-gov seb site so you can learn to be a better parent. Seems like a real waste of tax money to me. Even if the radio station has to air these as part of their license requirements, there has to be a huge cost in producing these ads, and with The Annointed One as The Star in some of them, seems like a political ad to me.
Any idea where one could find the cost of these propoganda peices??

The best ones are for SNAP (food stamps). Not only do we have to pay for that sheeot, we have to pay to advertise it, too.

When I listen to Rush there are some insane government public service announcements that almost seemed to be placed there as propaganda.

I could get behind the whole having a Nanny as long as there were some nursing going on.

Good hell, is nobody here old enough to remember what the Reagan "Just Say No" drug PSAs did to radio in the eighties? HH
