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.
Outra comparação impressionante é a do Brendan McMahon no "Huffington Post" afirmando que se do um trilhão gasto com as forças militares apenas 0,05% fosse repassado à arte, nós poderíamos manter 20 orquestras sinfônicas com um orçamento de US$ 20 milhões cada e dar para mais de 80 mil artistas um salário anual de US$ 50 mil.
