Where are your tax dollars going?
The federal government is spending $2.6 million to make sure prostitutes in China drink less on the job.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009...titutes-drink/

Government researchers are spending more than $400,000 in taxpayer money to hit the bars in Argentina.
The National Institutes of Health are paying researchers to cruise six bars in Buenos Aires to find out why gay men engage in risky sexual behavior while drunk -- and just what can be done about it.

Not going to our schools, police, firemen or food programs...thanks guys!

There have always been wacky-sounding research projects funded by the government, which folks love to roll their eyes at. Not that there's anything wrong with that!
