It actually wasn't.
I find it ironic that in arguing how imperative it is to fund the arts, you provide an example of art produced where absolutely NO funding was available. I think your example actually argues for the other side of this debate - that financial handouts do not inspire great art.
Now, that being said, I would actually support funding such as this. And, as I mentioned, funding of community rinks, and any other programs that get kids active, interested and learning. With $11 billion, increasing funding to such outlets is not mutually exclusive to hiring more doctors, fixing more schools and building more roads/transit.
