The FY 2003 Budget for the NEA was $115.731 million. That included a $10 million increase that was the "biggest in years". We're probably talking about something like $20 million.

Kind of like that saying "a million here, a million there and pretty soon you're talking real money". This is totally in keeping with Dubya. The guy has not seen a federal program he won't throw a billion dollars at.

We're talking about a few million here, calm down.

We'd have to increase their budget by $10 million a year for a hundred years to get to a billion.
