That's very predictable. I mean do you see him or any of his Trumpkins having any appreciation whatsoever for the arts? The arts is as foreign to them as Nascar is to gays.
And I've ALWAYS opposed NEA funding

^ABSOLUTE TRUTH^
EVERY facet of the federal government has AT LEAST 30% bloat in it = even/especially the Defense Dept which I think is our TOP PRIORITY.
I have long suggested an immediate 30% cut in every Department. Bring any existential problem with that to the POTUS for immediate resolution. Require all 'non-essential' depts to cut another 30% within the year.
Cut this mf'er to the BONE. Let the RIF'ed ex-govt workers do the jobs that "americans won't do" and relieve the need for immigrant labor.

Cutting programs that help the poor so trump can afford corporate welfare.

Do you always simply think in stereotypes? I'm a strict conservative and love the arts.

Why should they be subsidized? If the public wants it they should support it. It's called free enterprise.

BTW, my wife and I go to plays, the symphony and to museums. When's the last time you have done these things?

I'm just wondering how the arts in the US survived all those years between the birth of the nation up until LBJ signed it into legislation.
I believe the arts will continue to survive without the government's help. Guess we're going to find out just how important the arts are to the people who think the arts are important enough to support with their money.

Just another trump lie.
If this is true, why do they need money from the government?
Methinks you are repeating another left wing lie.

The idea of the NEA is worth considering but the actual practice of the NEA leads to its disqualification.
This is an agency that funded Piss Christ. That should be enough to curtail it right there.
(No? Then try this thought experiment, would the NEA fund 'Piss Muhammad'? I didn't think so...)

Funny, we have people in here fighting over who's been to the most broadway shows.
Very, very pretentious. I'd dare call you douches.
Why does going to a broadway show automatically instill culture anyway? I've been to a couple, and I enjoyed them, but I didn't walk out and start bragging on how cultured I am...
You guys are funnny.

That looks like a Bannon move. More symbolic than substance.Tablescrapes for all the little Trumpettes to feed on.

Never heard you refer to "a Jarrett move". You think Obama actually came up with his own ideas and mandates?

Well, Dan...if you had read through the thread, you would have seen that the left has used quotes by many of our finest Presidents, etc. talking about how our country has to have the arts or we would be no better than cavemen and lacking any kind of culture. We would no longer be a great country without giving money away to people that create a product that apparently nobody wants....therefore the government must step in and save the arts through our tax dollars.

Things that the NEA helped create/do:
Because, you know, screw the history of our country.
But yeah, let's save that 0.012% of the Federal Budget while congress blows three times that budget making sure that the military has plenty of widget model R7I0A, only manufactured in Spokane, WA, but doesn't actually need it for anything and is currently housed in a storage warehouse in Biloxi, MS.

Trump just saved every man, woman and child in the United States $.49. 49 Cents.
If you were cutting your own budget this would be akin to paying $4.99999994 instead of $5 a day for cup of coffee...meaning you would save $1.10 a year on a $1825 a year expense.
Thats not saying you ain't gotta start somewhere but the cuts Trump is making or can make are miniscule as discretionary spending is pretty small compared to the overall budget....
I doubt that the art community suffers to badly from this cut. What does suffer is our collective humanity and culture...but whats humanity and culture got to do with putting you name over a massive building?

Great! When should we expect this dude to pay back the grant, with interest?
