The US federal government has no money.  In has much less than no money as it is in the hole by trillions of dollars and gets over a trillion more in the whole every year.  The majority of the US federal budget is waste and misuse of government.  All government funding of arts programs has to be cut right now.  There is no other option.  Either destroy the US by doing things like this or try to save the US by cutting funding in half.


Frankly, the person at the NEA that thought funding videogames made sense needs to be fired because they clearly have zero understanding of reality.

That guy trying to defend this was just trying to get on TV, something he clearly isn't meant to be on with his speaking abilities.

good job. i find it shocking that most people dont realize how dire the US financial debt crisis is. its like they dont care, that we wont have a country in 50 years

I find it shocking that people think cutting a program that is 0.0001% of our federal budget is going to help us get out of debt. 

every bit adds up. who's saying we should only cut this?

thats what got us into this mess, people saying, oh its only several million, dont worry our debt is 14 trillion, thats nothing, people wont even notice. we have to cut everything

Actually no we dont have to cut everything,  we need to get rid of the Bush Tax cuts,  get rid of tax cuts for multi billion dollar corporations, and cut military spending.  That would put us back to having a surplus like we had in the 90s.  But the worst thing to do in a recession is cut spending, it just widens the hole.

we all saw how the massive amounts of spending by the gov has gotten us out of this mess....oh wait it didn't. The worst thing to do in a recession is to take money out of those that create more wealth through high taxes. We are seeing the results of this now.

bolded: you mean the obama tax rates

bolded: last time i checked the tax cuts were for everyone.

we dont have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem.

and look how good adding 4 trillion to our deficit in 2 years turned out.

letting people keep their own money is the best way

Im sorry?  But the Bush Tax cuts are still in place,  and many multi-billion dollar corporations still get tax breaks as well,  yet the economy is still in a free fall?  So how is giving more money to the rich in this country helping the cause?

But they arent creating jobs, at least not in this country, ever since we have started giving them more money the unemployement rate has gone up.  So how does that fix the problem genius?

if you mean tax cuts is giving them money, its not. it is their OWN money, not governments, goverment has no claim to somebody elses property.

if you mean subsudies, then yes they must stop. govermnet must stop throwing away money.

we need to lower tax rates for every body, eliminate loopholes, deductions, and exemptions, and simplify the tax code.

the society we live in now is hardly free market capitalism, it is crony capitalism. we need to have govenment stop interfering with anything and everything, that is the problem.

when have we been giving them money?

look at the policies the current president has in place, unemployment has risen since he has taken office, has hovered around 10%, with actual unemployement being around 18%.
