No, Edward, not to the union members, but their bosses. A good bit of it did go to Dem party officials, however, as of today, not all of the stimulus money has been spent, yet. There's a little left to blow. Back to the subject of the arts; I have no idee who at NEA or NEH has pissed off Trump. It could be anyone. I am fairly certain there are some evangelicals who have Trump's ear and hate those orgs as well. I don't care much for those entity's either. I'm sure there is a list somewhere that gives an accounting for a lot of the "art" projects which have been approved and paid for which have little to do with art, in the purest sense of the word. I do know a couple of folks from my Seattle days who applied for money. Those guys have never truly worked a day in their lives. It's easier to live on the public teat. It's free money. Who wouldn't go for it?
