Stimulus Fail: $325k to study how environment affects the mating decision of female cactus-bugs


This absurd research project created one job. Thanks President Obama.

The Orlando Sentinel
reported:
They’re certainly a surer route than, say, the $325,394 in Mr. Obama’s first stimulus plan that went to the University of Florida to determine how the environment affects the mating decision of female cactus-bugs. When we last checked on that project, it had created exactly one research technician’s job.

  1. Very informative!!

    In recent times, the world is becoming cognizant about the hazardous effects of plastic bags on the environment.
    Also PLA has been used to line the inside of Paper Cups in place of the oil based lining more commonly used, create Plastic ( bioplastics ) Cups, Cutlery, Carrier Bags, Food Packaging and even Nappies.
    Thanks,
