Should Publicly Funded Memorials Be Shut Down?

http://westernperspective.blogspot.com/

The tragic killing of the security guard yesterday at the DC Memorial Museum should generate a review of whether tax dollars are being foolishly squandered unnecessarily. This Museum is not representative of our national heritage. Before the shooting incident, a labor union official presumably from AFSCME representing government workers requested that security personnel in the building be provided with bullet proof vests. This request was denied.

There are plenty of worthy military memorials such as Arlington National Cemetery funded with tax dollars. The Museum was closed for one day today. While Americans are being asked by government to cut back, why do we continue to spend our money for government health care and pension benefits and other costs of operation for these excessively pork barrel projects?

Keep the Museum closed for good.
