We’re spending just $82 per person on arts, culture, and media while our peers shell out $258—68% below their median—and that’s not just embarrassing, it’s a disgrace when our kids can’t even get decent music or theater programs in school. If we raised this to $240, we’d still be behind the curve, but at least we’d stop looking like we don’t care about our own heritage and creativity.
