> approximately 1,500 grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities were cancelled abruptly.

So, it's working as intended? I'm all for cutting as much money from government spending as possible, because we are $36T in debt and we can only get out of this by cutting spending.

What percentage of the $36T debt did those 1,500 grants make up?

Huh? Whether you like it or not, the way we're going to get out of it is printing money.

You've moved your goalposts. And explicitly confirmed that what you meant was not "nothing was disrupted", but rather "nothing I like was disrupted".

Which is fine, just be honest about the statement from the top. If you are sharing an opinion, share an opinion, don't state it as a fact.
