Supporting something that you think is worthwhile is great. Having your money confiscated and then doled out by bureaucrats not so much. |

Nobody wants to eliminate the NEA? It's a wag the dog issue like PBS funding. The NEA funding would power the Pentagon, Medicare or SS for about 30 minutes. It's the left's way of getting us off more important issues. edit - also kickstarter is crap. I know a few people on it and it's the Amway of film/music industry. |

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile The mandate is similar to any mandate for education. NEA should be cut on par with any other educational mandate due to the fact that the moran who put the cross in piss is one in a thousand. The gentleman I know that received a grant actually helped private business by using his large format camera to map a quarry that dinosaur bones where present in. He managed to convince the archeologists that the photographs would accurately show the state of the bones after they had been exposed and the quarry was then able to resume production. Most NEA grants are like this, not some fool and his excrement. |

Quoted: Can you explain the projects you saw? Grants for museums & arts education. How many of them were "piss in a crucifix jar" type of projects? None. All were very mundane. I don't care. I don't object to the NEA out of a sense of moral outrage at the content. I collect art that many on here would find obscene and sacrilegious. I simply do it on my own dime. I periodically help with fundraisers (shows and auctions, mostly) for arts education, but I do it of my own volition. |

I just feel it should be cut on a percentage basis consistant with other grant funding and educational funding. If you do away with all grant money across the board cut the NEA completely. |
