National Endowment for the Arts: Bye Bye?

[ILLogic]

Fuck speculation, I said examples..

He isn't wrong though, and you know it. No one in the hood gives a shit about "arts". Shit that wont help them get out of the hood..

Bullshit. The entire hip-hop movement was born in the hood. Hip-hop is compromised of different forms of art. And art in the hood isn't limited to hip-hop. Since you seem to think you're some sort of hood representative, you should know this.

Computers for schools, and actually spending that money on shit that will get them out of the hood is better then funding "arts".

^speculation

Besides, most of the "arts" is just code word for shit white people like anyways, and that is something the left doesn't like anyways.

^retardation

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

wont someone please think of all those poor shamisen and gravikord players??? What shall we ever do without them?

 

[Pixelated Porn]

Fuck the arts, nobody growing up in the hood gives a shit about the "arts." Why don't they spend that 1 trillion a year giving computers to classrooms for their students to learn?

Thats probably the cigarette tax.

who gives a fuck about bum kids

The arts are important, now if they get a lot of money in private funding then no big deal

To bad hip hop isn't real art.. Never was. Also, if it Hip hop was soo good for the hood rats, then how many are actually gotten out of the hood because of it? Prove it is a number higher then 1%.

Make every public school a military academy. They can get an education, discipline and fuel our military complex.

I dont see why the individual states cant handle education. In my admitedly ill informed opinion , I think a lot of these umbella type agencies could probably be slashed.

 

[Octavian]

Yeah. Little conflicted. I'd like to see what examples this program is funding before deciding if this is wasting money on the arts or actual something beneficial to society

It's not even a tenth of a percent of the budget.

The entire point of publicly funded broadcasting and arts funding is so that none of it is as the behest of private money or what are effectively lobbyist type financial influences. They're actually mandated and regulated to not push political agenda and be as down the middle as possible.

Otherwise you get news like fox.

That is a horrible justification for spending money on as large a scale of the government of the United States

I do think we need to get the major expenditures down like the Military, but a tenth of a percent that can be reallocated to something like education or infrastructure should not be ignored as it is still sizeable

You're overreacting. The idea was to drive the arts because it was recognized as a highly valuable part of a rich and diverse society. The Broadcasting was aimed at being fee to access, down the middle politically and devoid of special interests. And yes, considering the absolutely minuscule cost, this is partisanship clear as day. I don't really see why we shouldn't be driving arts and vanilla news reporting. And yes, the size of the outlay does justify the order or immediacy of review and in this case it's nothing to the overall budget. We're talking about grants and funding for museums here - things like that. And ps - this is all ultimately tied into education which you listed.

Very bad news for ol Limbo Pete

 

[Fluffernutter]

We need to cut out that stuff so we can spend more on the military. Because 550 billion a year is making us weak!

Went to college with someone that played clarinet in the military band.

She told me that the military bands get more funding than the national endowment of the arts.

Maybe we shouldn't forget where western civilization left the dark ages behind.

Good, fuck you over rated Meryl Streep

Probably not what you're thinking

Spoiler

 

[panamaican]

Use that money to build the fucking wall.

Seriously, I'm all about museums but other shit should be funded in other ways....theatres??? C'mon. Does anybody even watch pbs anymore??? Most of that stuff was funded by the national endowment for the arts.

kids do. They have plenty of education cartoons that you wouldn't find elsewhere. And, no, not cartoons with an evil liberal brainwashing agenda but things like reading and dinosaurs...which I think are bi-partisan.

 

[KaNesDeath]

This is a bad move. America is a country lacking culture compared to the rest of the world. An they wish to eliminate the funding to what we have.

Bingo!

I'm counting on NEA secretary Toby Keith to make wise decisions.

 

[WiolentOne]

@Devout Pessimist, isn't a big part of the point in electing an authoritarian white nationalist supposed to be that it's good for the arts?

Wow you've gone full retard for the inauguration. Get ready, Trump daddy is gonna grab you by your pussy.

So much irony in two sentences.
