I don't think you can say the NEA is responsible for anywhere near the 763 billion... In the article it even states that the government spends:
>The government (federal, state, and local) also provided a major $101.5 billion boost to the sector, mainly in visual and performing arts education funding, according to the data.
The NEA is a rounding error in government arts spending.
