I'm Paying for That?

"What is it?...I just don't understand," says a woman on the WMUR News. New Hampshire residents are confused as to what the Federal government is buying with their tax dollars. Some say its time for the government to get out of the art business due to a deficit of $160 million. They have better ideas to where they spend the money. Artwork has been placed in front of many buildings throughout the country. Some of these pieces are getting little respect. But if you would ask Raymond Caskey what he thinks about the idea, he would have a different opinion. Being one of the chosen artists, Caskey believes that art brings importance to the building. He has created several pieces for the government to place in front of many structures. It is an expression a time and a culture. However, there are citizens that back up Caskey's point of view. "It beautifies the city." As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
