Ron Paul is great on this: >Paul, a well-documented fiscal conservative, argued that a country with a $28 trillion national debt should not spend money on the research included in this bill. He used poster boards to outline spending on research that he contends frivolous, including $357,000 to study "Cocaine and Risky Sex Habits of Quail" and $1.6 million for researching "Lizards on a Treadmill." >Another poster had singer Dolly Parton’s face on it decrying $250,000 of taxpayer dollars to send "kids in Pakistan to Space Camp and Dollywood." Another poster accused the National Science Foundation of spending $700,000 from an autism research grant to investigate whether astronaut Neil Armstrong used the word "a" after landing on the moon and delivering his well-known "one giant leap for mankind" quote. >Over the past few days, Paul has used his Twitter platform to further his mission of informing the public about wasteful government spending. >“NSF sent $1.3 million to study making insects into animal feed. On top of that, we spent nearly $3 million to study if humans would eat insects as a means to combat climate change,” Paul tweeted. “That’s $4 million on eating insects Lizards on treadmills? You can't make this up.
