...meaning all of the politicians?

All except for Patriots like Ron Paul.

Where do you think the electorate stands on the funding for this stuff?

Instead of pontificating about it, let's examine some actual election results.

The last time any party won in a landslide was the Republicans in 1994. And they supported abolishing not only the NEA, but also 4 cabinet departments. They got about 55% of the vote.

The Contract with America was all but given a pass by the media in 1994. Because of that many in the mushy middle joined conservatives in voting for it.

Well then, the R Congress gets elected in '94 and along comes the media in '95 with its constant barrage against Newt and the Contract and by the end of '95 the mushy middle ended it's support of decreased government spending as they believed the propaganda that children and god-knows-what would be tossed in the streets by the mean R's. The mushy middle was scared off by the media in '95 and the election of '94 was just the absence of this -- all to the benefit of the Clintons.

In 2000 -- the last presidential vote -- Al Gore and Ralph Nader received a majority of the vote. It is my guess that these voters can't get enough of government spending.

I blame them!
