the fact is health care and social programs among other things are underfunded in most countries around the world, i think it's ridiculous to spend public money on funding a few people's ambitions when millions of other people can barely survive

arts funding is not to fund some people's ambitions, but to better the lives of every single citizen, whether through access to visual arts, performance arts, music, public broadcasting of performances, etc.
