Just when you think our government can't get any goofier, they outdo themselves. I've just learned that a researcher at Wayne State University Medical School in Detroit received $2.6 million of our tax dollars to train Chinese prostitutes to drink responsibly on the job! The thinking is that they may be able to reduce the incidence of HIV/AIDS among Chinese "sex workers" and their customers.
This would be a great project for the Chinese government to undertake, but why on earth should we underwrite it? Lord only knows what other stupid things our hard-earned money is being spent on. To paraphrase a famous senator from years ago, you spend a few million here, a few million there, and pretty soon, you're talking about serious money! I realize that $2.6 million is a drop in the bucket compared to the entire federal budget, but it's the idea that politicians feel free to waste our money like this that infuriates.
