    The annual combined Federal budgets of the NEA & NEH equals 4hrs & 23min of spending on the US Military.

        "Provide for the common defense" Preamble to US Constitution. NEA and NEH funding not written. Let free market decide.

        No, but constitutionality should be the litmus test. The arts are wonderful but not a core federal function.

        The difference is defense spending is actually the governments job.

        Making sure we have a strong economy is part of the govt's job too. In fact, it's part of defense!

        Right. Hence the principle of cutting out unnecessary elements of the governments budget. Like NEA.

        How about cutting out some trips to Mar-a-Lago? How about the first lady living in the White House?
