Another striking image comes from Brendan McMahon for the \"Huffington Post,\" saying that out of the one trillion dollar budget for military and defense-related spending, if only 0.05 percent were allocated to the arts, we would be able to pay for 20 full-time symphony orchestras at 20 million dollars apiece, and give over 80,000 artists an annual salary of 50,000 dollars each.
Gambaran mencolok lainnya datang dari Brendan McMahon, \"Huffington Post,\" yang mengatakan bahwa dari anggaran satu triliun dolar untuk pengeluaran militer dan pertahanan, andai 0,05 persen dialokasikan untuk seni, kita akan mampu membayar 20 pemain orkestra, masing-masing 20 juta dolar, dan gaji tahunan 80.000 lebih seniman, masing-masing 50.000 dolar.
