So Timber, what you are saying..is that art would die unless the government subsidizes it? and yet you say the amount is peanuts....I see a conflict there.
I also fail to see how supporting some guy who sculpts religious figures out of feces or some woman paints her body and presses it against canvas need government support....can't they do those things on their own dime? I am pretty certain that feces may be easily optained at little cost and that it probably costs reletively little to paint yourself and lay on a canvas.
I think art would do quite well without the "governmental peanuts". I also agree with you about massive wastage in other parts of our government...this was just the topic of the day.
Edit: As for school art, we spend annually more than 100BILLION and maybe as much as 150 BILLION a year on schools. Of that amount it is estimated that up to 30BILLION is lost to waste fraud and abuse. I think that we are spending quite enough on schools, especially in light of the product we are receiving.
