[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IMLS supports a lot of the small libraries and museums around the country. For example, things like second tier founding fathers' houses and local historical societies. It's a favorite source of pork for the House, especially for exurban members. It's going to be hard for a lot of those places to survive. They don't appeal to the big donors. Between the reduced tax value of charitable contributions and the economic squeeze on the middle class it wil be difficult to fully meet operational expenses. I can't get worked up about it because compared to everything else it's a small disappointment. We will be losing a lot of history, especially in exurban and rural areas, though.[/quote] We shouldn’t be sad to lose pork projects. If Congress wants to bribe constituents, they should do it with their own (suspiciously large piles of) money, not with taxpayer funds. [/quote]
