    Cutting the NEA & NEH to save money on a $3-trillion budget is like thinking 3 days is long relative to an 85-year lifespan.

        No prob. If we keep making cuts like this, we can say goodbye to 85 year lifespans, too.

        I know you're a smart guy. You do understand it's not the money, it's the mission to keep us civilized that they object to.

        When we need a Federal government to "keep us civilized", that ship has sailed long ago.

        That's true. U.S. spends the least on the arts of any developed country. Anti-intellectual to the core.

        There is utterly no constitutional justification for the Federal government to spend *anything* on "the arts".

        Justification? How about doing what is in our civilization's best interests - or do you think that ends w/making money.

        Who appointed the Feds -- or you, for that matter -- to decide "what's in the best interests of civilization"?

        Who appointed you to laugh at people who like art, music, dance & other arts & accuse them of stealing your money at gunpoint?

        It being my money, I don't need an appointment. I don't laugh at art, but I do point at "art" grifters on the dole.

        I agree with you. Though the last 3 months has seemed like 85 years.
