If the art of an individual or group is worth being elevated to being seen by the public, they can find a private donor(s) can make that happen. There was a lot of BS art being given grants that should have never seen the light of day.

Yep. Totally okay with eliminating funding for the NEA. Wish we could eliminate it from existence.

I can see no justification for federal tax dollars going towards the National Endowment for the Arts. None.

Ah...another good reason for eliminating funding for this program.

Fantastic --- without that section there would have been a big gap in the wall.

This. Love that cartoon.

What's sad is we as taxpayers have probably already spent more this year paying for Trump's trips to Mar a Lago than the annual budget of the NEA. Yet all these populists on here are perfectly fine with it.

Thank goodness they are doing something beneficial for the nation that gives them the safety to put out their CRAP they call art

If they would actually inscribe that on the wall, then I would say it would be the first time in history that we got our monies worth out of the NEA.

It's not just the 1 section; when you add up ALL the stupid shite we (taxpayers) pay for, i.e. monkeys farting in a closet, mice fricking in space, etc. the 1 section becomes 1,000 miles long.

They are more than welcome to pant the wall.

Dats what winning looks like.

Yes indeed...end the tax payer subsidization of the arts but continue our subsidization of the arts in foreign nations....that's the ticket. Not a one of you will agree to end that subsidization though, will you? Because ending that subsidy would mean a serious cut in military spending and we can't have that....
You Tax Dollars at Work Abroad
If you don't buy into the idea that Germany has more money to spend on things like the arts because you provide them with national security how about...
"Today, Korea has a strong arts infrastructure—arts agencies, university arts programs, performing arts companies, and festivals— that has surprisingly little visibility outside the region. In 2010, Korea’s central government spent approximately 5.7 percent — $56 per capita — on culture through its Ministry of Culture, about a quarter of which went specifically to the arts. The local government spends twice as much. In recent years, arts and culture in Korea is the one category of spending to enjoy an increasing proportion of government budget allocations, a trend mirrored in few other national budgets."
Hyundai? Samsung? Anyone?
We are all about cutting domestic spending so we can spend more to make certain Hyundai and Samsung are in a position to provide jobs to Koreans so we can prove...as if there is any doubt...that communism does not work...
But in all honesty...is cutting out sesame street more important to you than asking that South Korean giants like Hyundai and Samsung pay for their own defense? I just do not get how anyone can square that circle.....
