    named his price: a NASA research grant for his district, which LBJ was glad to provide. For most of American history, a principal goal of any member of Congress was to bring home bacon for his district. Pork-barrel spending never really cost very much, and it helped glue Congress together by giving members a kind of currency to trade: You support my pork, and I 'll support yours.
