Re: NPR




Gah, this is a silly non-loop related thread, but 
the NEA spends nearly all its money on things 
like marching bands and similar local stuff...

nearly all of the money goes to "local arts
organizations" which really is what it sounds
like... a lot of community centers all over
the country.


Just $97 million a year, down from $160 million a few
years ago.  

The Pentagon's black budget (the 
money they can spend without having to reveal
what they are doing with it to Congress) is 
over 300 times as much...

(and that's for 1995!  they spend a lot more now...)

ENOUGH!
