Neh/nea is national funding. It’s for large cultural or historical projects spearheaded by researchers, recognized artists, or research groups - not related to master’s students. Federal funding is entirely separate from TAships; it may be related to RAship if you bring skills useful to a lab but those tend to go to PHD candidates.
Also, that funding will be shifted to defense contractors. (Washington Post or WSJ both have good analyses of the budget. You can try and read that.)
Your best bet is to work for an employer that offers to sponsor graduate studies for its best employees. Hopefully if you got into UMich once, you can get in again. Email them to explain your decision, highlighting the fact it’s financial, and that you hope to apply again once you’ve found sufficient funding through your employer.
Finally, read the whole thread again. Your understanding of the information provided seems partial at best, which in turn made you sound tone-deaf at best; this would be problematic both in graduate settings and in industry, so re reading may make things clearer. You will really need to analyze/synthesize and communicate better once you are in the workforce.
