Brendan McMahon, dans un article du Huffington Post, affirme que si sur le budget de mille milliards de dollars dédié aux dépenses militaires et de défense, on allouait 0,05% à l'art, on pourrait rémunérer 20 orchestres philharmoniques à temps plein à raison de 20 millions de dollars chacun et offrir à 80 000 artistes un salaire annuel de 50 000 dollars chacun.
