PRESIDENT TRUMP VS. BIG BIRD
"The N.E.A. budget is $148 million a year, or less than 0.004 percent of the federal budget. The per-capita cost for Americans is roughly the cost of a postage stamp."
"... do we get more value as taxpayers from Big Bird and art or music programs, or from the roughly $30 million Trump's trips to Mar-a-Lago golf resort will cost us when he's tallied nine visits in office (he's already more than halfway there)?"
"... Big Bird will survive, but some local public television stations will close without federal support -- meaning that children in some parts of the country may not be able to see 'Sesame Street' on their local channel."
" ... the arts humanize us and promote empathy. We need that now more than ever."

Maybe the Big Yellow Fella can get a job as a coal miner.
