See I don't get it.
They could sell some of that useless artwork for untold millions and maybe they wouldn't have to toss a bunch of good soldiers out in the cold with the coming military cuts.

 

Want to define "useless"?  Preserving these artifacts should be a priority, from the perspective of history.  I'm sure there are other items in either the Federal, or the Pentagon's budget that could be cut that are more "useless" than this repository.

While I agree with Casters sentiment, No_One is right. There is plenty of other fat to trim before we get to this.

My definition of useless is the application of value to an noun (person, place or thing) that cannot perpetuate sustenance. I'm just not a clingy sentimentalist. Artwork has always been a bit of a conundrum to me. Such great value for a thing that can neither feed you nor give you the means to feed yourself. Tools have value. Water has value. History recorded has value (knowledge is power) but the article in which it is recorded matters little so long as it is recorded accurately. I suppose the riddle of gold is an answer I will never care to seek. Edited by Caster

This is a good response, but immediately opens up another discussion, i.e. what is "value"?  Obviously, you place value on tangible possessions, with immediate utility.  There are many others who would see much value in the possession and preservation of objects which have value only in the sense of their historical and cultural significance.

They could cut about 90% of the pork fat out of the ACA program and they would not have to cut any thing in military. I have my own opinion on this but without a strong Military to protect our great nation what good is the ACA program with no Country?......................jmho
