    Cutting the NEA & NEH on a $3-trillion budget is like thinking a 2-min cellphone video is large relative to a 3Tb Hard Drive.

        That's why @RonPaul was right, and why I voted @LPNational and against your preferred crook. Thanks for noting it.

        Nope, the fact that you're being blatantly dishonest about it. See previous tweets.

        "Principle is more important than money." Libertarians ignore actual policy implications and double down on theory. Insane.

        Clearly these cuts have zero to do with the budget. Everything to do with assimilating the citizenry into the Trump Collective.

        It's not about the money, and never was. It's about suppression of ideas & expression.
