THIS IS WHY TRUMP WON: No more free money for artists!

It looks like Donald Trump is about to really cut government spending. I applaud that big time. The National Endowment of the Arts is rumored to get axed and PBS is about to be privatized. All of America will cheer over just those two things. The Departments of Energy, Transportation and Justice are all going to get severely downsized. That is the first reduction of government we have seen since Reagan and I almost feel like weeping in relief. I pray Trump does this… it will be like water to a man dying of thirst in the desert.

All of America is tuned in today to see Donald Trump sworn in as the 45th President of the United States. They are also breathlessly waiting to see what his first actions will be other than turning over his cell phone. I don’t know about you, but after eight horrific years under the Marxist boot of Obama, I am overcome with emotion. I have no idea what Trump will do, but I can tell you this… it will be an improvement over what we have suffered under for so very long. This has been a long, painful time coming.

Absolutely breaks my heart to hear that he will cut the arts. Our children need the creativity and innovative problem solving skills that the arts inherently teach. To say that all the NEA does is give money to artists is ignorant and misinformed.

what problem solving do arts do?

@12:02, every day in art class, students are challenged to solve visual problems. Creativity itself is using imagination and original ideas to solve artistic problems. The synonym for creativity is, inventiveness. To invent is to solve problems. I'm sorry for your lack of understanding. You should have had more art as a child.
