it's not like people getting the grants burn the money you know

they spend it in the work and recirculate it in the economy. they buy groceries and pay rent.

some of these grants require you to do a public service and what not

it's like the government hires a "cultural worker" to do things

we have people like the poet laureate of the u.s. and others who do that who live off government salaries

same shit with people teaching poetry, art, and music in public universities-- they get paid with tax dollars. it's great to be able to be a poet or a painter and not have to be homeless and live in a shelter or wait for "charity". wellcharge sounds like those yahoos who like to cut arts education

sorry but the people voted to keep it alive-- art makes life better for all-- even for yahoos.
