I think it's a huge disrespect to the institution of free expression to consider it just another sector that government should fund. What is art? It's the expression of the individual's and society's story and how it relates to life. This is alot more important than simple economics.
And to answer your question, put me in the camp of libertarians who say government should stay out and let sectors sink or swim under their own effiency standards.
