Not sure if I'm going to vote for this unless there are provisions that will cut spending or increase revenues added.

Perhaps someone could propose an amendment to cut spending Smiley Perhaps from the national healthcare system? Why not just privatize it while we're at it Cheesy

Health care is definitely a higher priority than art, so I don't think that would be the best idea.

I am an artist too, but as Clarence said, culture does not come from government.  If this bill were geared toward, perhaps, saving the jobs of educators (which would, of course, include art teachers), then I would be more likely to support this or even incorporate it into my education reform plan.  This bill should be at least improved so that it can do something that helps us economically.  Art itself is a product of the imagination, not of government.

I agree that culture is what defines nations, and we can maintain this, in part, by helping schools maintain the jobs of everyday art teachers who build the path for future painters, musicians, sculptors, designers, and every other fellow artist to take but always see their jobs cut first when schools are deep in debt.  I would consider supporting or introducing an amendment that directs the funds to schools that can no longer keep their art teachers because of budget problems, but I would like input from the original sponsor and the President on this idea before I do so.  I also believe that a clear and precise plan is essential.

Doesn't Atlasia already have a National Endowment for the Arts?  Or at least its equivalent? 

Link, please.

I am prepared to offer this amendment, provided that Jake and Polnut share some input.

Mr. President, do you support my amendment or wish to make any changes?

I'm surprised this didn't come to a vote yet. Tongue

Seeing no objection, Scott has assumed sponsorship.
