Well the overall article was a good one, but there was a little line at the very end that made me very sad. They said the national endowment for the arts is hoping to be funded at 207 Million for the next fiscal year - which doesn’t really sound like a lot and then they mention that it’s ⅔ of $1 per capita which is depressingly low. There’s no reason that more federal money shouldn’t be going to support the arts than one dollar per person is a really piddly amount. The actual article is about the re-establishment of the President’s committee on arts and humanities. I know it shouldn’t surprise me, but what did the previous administration get rid of the President’s committee on arts and humanities? Like did he purposely get rid of it? Or is it just something his people forgot to do? I know that he completely forgot to throw the annual halloween party that they usually do they forgot to do while he was in the white house.
