States face growing burden of federal aid grants
The Tax Foundation reports federal grants in aid to states and localities rose from 7 billion in 1960 to an estimated 25 billion in 1970, with 99 percent of aid in 1970 going to states and localities. Iowas paid 225 million in taxes for grants but received 221 million, while Illinois sent 1.2 billion but got 780 million in grants, creating a 446 million gap. Alaska saw a 25 million payment yield 101 million in grants. The shift aims to reduce local property taxes by moving school funding to federal income taxes.
