After the arts community has bashed Trump nonstop, why should the NEA or any other acting/performance group get funding?!

Because there was no art before the NEA was created.

Wasn’t it the National endowment for the arts which funded “Piss Christ”??
We have to pay for that sort of “art”???

In FY 2018 to date, the NEA has awarded 1,134 grants totaling $26.68 million
Get rid of it. Zero it out.

Let me guess:
1. Global warming will increase exponentially.
2. The poor will be most affected (even though very few watch or listen).
3. Dogs and cats living together.
4. Artists with no talent will have nowhere to display their drivel.
5. The earth will be destroyed by a rogue comet.

Funny how the greatest music in the world, the stuff they listen to today, listed to a century or two ago, and will still be listening to 100 or 200 or 300 years from now got written without taxpayer funding.
There are foundations for this sort of thing. Maybe the libtards could send some of their trust fund money there instead of spening it on weed and "political advocacy."
When I lived in the LA area, there was even a classical music radio station (funded by commercials) which I listed to on my commute to work.

Today we learned that the President's FY 2019 budget proposes elimination of the National Endowment for the Arts. We are disappointed because we see our funding actively making a difference with individuals in thousands of communities and in every Congressional District in the nation.
Get used to disappointment.
I've been disappointed with you for a long time.

According to Wikipedia:
Annual NEA budget $146,200,000 USD (2015)
Seems like there is a lot of overhead.

It’s always other people’s money with the Left. Why isn’t Hollywood funding the arts?
To: Dilbert San Diego
Did they not offer Trump a golden toilet recently, as opposed to a piece of art he requested?
Certain I read that somewhere.....

per article:
Established by Congress in 1965, the NEA is the …Stop right there. There's that pesky year again. Trump should just propose nullifying every bit of legislation enacted in 1965, and all subsequent renewals.
