I think you are kind of misrepresenting what actual ministers of culture in other countries actually do. they support the arts. I personally can't imagine how such an endeavour could ever be seen as not being "useful." We can afford it as a nation. Really we can't afford not to promote the arts as a nation. The results in not doing so have spoken for themselves. But I agree that we don't necessarily need a minister of culture per se. What we do need. What we desperately need is music education in our public schools. Not just music but arts and culture education. We can afford it and we desperately need it.
