Where did you get 25% for NEA increase and while you are at it

You are right to ask me that question. I am, in fact, wrong. It's going up 33%.

Bush Is Said to Seek More Money for Arts [$15 million to $20 million for NEA]

do you know what the increase is going to fund?

I couldn't begin to care. The federal government does not belong in spending on the arts.

Your 33% is even more wrong! You should have checked the AP article that is out on the NEA instead of using Drudge:

Excerpted from the AP article that came out tonight about Funding for the NEA:

First lady Laura Bush made Thursday's announcement, saying the president would ask Congress next week for an $18 million increase for the NEA, a 15 percent hike over last year.

The GOP-controlled Congress increased the agency's funding to $122.5 million last year, up from $115.7 million. That's still well below the $175 million it received in 1992.

Yet we are funding the NEA 33% less than we were under Reagan -- speaking of things 33%, as you were.
