That's a good start. Liberals will be screaming about the "Art" money cuts... :roll:

Maybe we ought to start cutting some "Foreign Aid"?

I can hear it now. "Balancing the budget on the backs of the poor". Same old meaningless Democrat talking points in the recycle bin.

Exchange Programs for Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Their Historical Trading Partners in Massachusetts

this is almost laughable...

Educational, Cultural, Apprenticeship, and Exchange Programs for Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Their Historical Whaling and Trading Partners in Massachusetts

yep liberals whine about killing whales yet celebrate ... the 'culture of killing whales..

Funds are provided for certain entities in Massachusetts, Alaska, and Hawaii as follows: $2 million each for (1) the New Bedford Whaling Museum in partnership with the New Bedford Oceanarium in Massachusetts and (2) the North Slope Borough in Alaska; not less than $1 million each for the New Trade Winds Project to (1) the Alaska Native Heritage Center, (2) the Bishop Museum in Hawaii, and (3) the Peabody Essex Museum in Massachusetts

most of the funds head to the wealthy state of Massachusetts.. (at least $6 million)..

even cutting $9 million still leaves millions in the program... :?

Do we really need to fund wealthy arts programs few of US can afford to see?

can't the wealthy pay their own share?

They'll probably have a problem with government money not being spent on putting a crucifix in urine. That might offend someone and bring on a breach of borders, and killings of embassy staff

I really don't like it when those liberals get out of their cities.. and god forbid some come across from california,.. it is one thing when they are protesting,... raping and killing at historical numbers in their own cities..

but when they try to do it in our towns and bring that depraved society to our TVs .. it is just wrong...

I know we are having a tough time,.. but we need to leave just enough "foreign aid" to keep the liberals from rioting.. cut it over time maybe..

but try to remember Hypo,.. even though not a one will condemn the bad actions of the others. .. not all liberals are radical.. and some just want to be left alone in their little communes and camps..
