#1 NEA was established in 1965. I just read the other day that it was one of LBJ's pet projects, part of his "Great Society". Shoulda known. That old bastard did more to screw up this country than any president since Franklin Roosevelt.

NEA should be abolished. There is no justification for its existence and certainly no reason why our tax dollars should be spent on it. Let artists do whatever they are inspired to do. If they can sell it, fine. If they can't then maybe they should look for some other line of work.

#2 What? NEA abolished? Oh, ok. Please send along the Bureau of Firearms, Tobacco, and Firearms, Departments of Agriculture, Energy, and Education as well. Might as well do a thorough house cleaning.

#3 There's a Bureau of Firearms, Tobacco, and Firearms?

I think you mean Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms. :)

I think there may be a place for a much smaller Agriculture and Energy. And there should be some regulation of firearms - if only to attempt to keep them out of the hands of criminals.

Education and the NEA (and NPR too!) should be killed dead. Throw in labor to boot.

#4 Yeah. LBJ established HUD too. Built a whole lotta slums, he did, housing for the poor. Who knows how much it cost the taxpayers? But those welfare moms loved him. They were never very good at being responsible and he made it easy for them.
