Another spending cut

This article suggests shutting down the National Endowment for the Arts, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Endowment for Democracy.
In a day of multi trillion dollar deficits, the money is only a billion or so, but you know what Dirksen said, "A billion here, a billion there and pretty soon we are talking real money".
NPR's programming is now so strong it doesn't need public subsidy any more. They can sell ads just like real networks do.
Any art that needs a government subsidy is bad art. Good art supports itself by sales. If people won't buy it, it's bad art. By definition.
The Humanities (English lit, history, art, music and such) do not need subsidy. Not with college tuitions as high as they are. Most college student major in the humanities anyway, science and engineering are too hard for them. That much tuition money is plenty.
I'd never heard of the National Endowment for Democracy before, so it obviously isn't doing anything worth while.
