[QUOTE="HMFIC, post: 1581869, member: 7539"] "probably", "probably" source plz? Why defend it with speculation? A few hundered quarters is equal to $100, not $899,769. I need a source to make a statement that there is far too much government waste on silly programs that are uncessary? :anyone: I'll find you a source if you really need one. EDIT: Here ya go... [url]http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2009/10/50-examples-of-government-waste[/url] Sure they are, but I don't need to pay $899,769 to determine that larger size can cause issues with condom breakage and slippage that leads to more spreading of disease. That's just common sense and not worthy of spending that kind of money. I'll repeat myself... The point is that there are far too many of these types of things... Why on earth are we deficit spending ourselves to death, paying for things like this that we DON'T need & CAN'T afford and continuing to destroy our economy over the out of control government spending? I didn't say the road to prosperity is defunding scientific research. That's your interpretation of what I said. We evidently disagree on what is necessary and what is discretionary and what should be cut in a time of crisis. For me, it's a pretty simple solution. The government need not be spending money of ours that we don't even have to fund things we don't absolutely need right now. If you'd like to donate your hard earned $ to fund ***** research, then knock yourself out, but I've had it with the government being irresponsible with my money. Why would you even defend this?
