Recent statistics reveal that the federal government has been channeling millions of dollars into various sectors, influencing cultural production and discourse. In 2023, the Department of Education awarded billions in discretionary grants to universities. Politico received federal subscription payments from agencies like the Department of Health and Human Services. USAID grants have funded policy programs, while the Small Business Administration has supported tech incubators. This financial influence extends to media, academia, and the arts, suggesting a significant impact on what is considered culturally significant. The funding has led to a homogenization of cultural institutions and a narrowing of acceptable discourse, with implications for the authenticity of cultural outputs.
