Your Tax Dollars at Play

How can those cheapskate Republicans talk about cutting the federal budget when we need money for valuable scientific research?

The federal government helped fund a study that examined what effect a gay man’s penis size has on his sex life and general well-being. . . .
This particular research resulted in a 2009 report titled, “The Association Between Penis Size and Sexual Health Among Men Who Have Sex with Men.” . . .
Though it’s difficult to trace exactly how much federal funding went to the project, the study was one of many linked to an $899,769 grant in 2006. The grant was administered by NIH’s National Institute on Drug Abuse, and went first to a group called Public Health Solutions and a researcher with the National Development and Research Institutes before going to individual researchers.
Those researchers then compiled data from a survey of more than 1,000 gay and bisexual men at events in New York City for the gay community.

And if you’re against using taxpayer dollars for that, you’re anti-science — and quite possibly anti-sex, too!
