is why it is targeting the meager federal funding for the arts.
The New York Times does the math:
“Annual funding for the two endowments [NEA & NEH] lags behind where it was in the early 1990s after controversies over money for provocative arts projects like Andres Serrano’s urine-immersed crucifix created a climate that led to budget cuts. The two endowment agencies each receive about $148 million a year now. The budget for public broadcasting, currently $445 million, has been more consistent over the years.”
