Penis washing $823,200

Quote from hermit:

So the macroeconomic data becomes irrelevant because 800k was spent on AIDS research?

From above: "only the penis-washing study received money from the 2009 economic stimulus law"

Didn't see so much right wing concern when 9 billion dollars simply disappeared in Iraq few years ago.

Horse shit, plenty from the right were complaining constantly.
If you didn't notice you either didn't want to or had your head up your ass.

"The study’s lead investigator Dr. Thomas J. Coates was the fourth highest-funded researcher in the country in 2002 and is currently conducting HIV research on three continents."

Seems like AIDS research to me, I don't know what he is doing but nitpicking stimulus while ignoring the macroeconomic scenario seem like more talking points, even the WSJ will tell you that.

Hey, we already had a debate about Bush unemployment numbers and you posted this.

Doesn't look too rosy like those average unemployment numbers.

Also, in case you missed - this was before Obama got into Office - In January 2009, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projected the unemployment rate would climb to 8.3 percent in 2009 and peak at 9 percent in 2010. By February, the prediction was even higher — 9 percent in 2009 without the stimulus, and 7.7 to 8.5 percent with a stimulus.

And 8% was a projection, not a promise.

Read this one carefully - http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-m...bama-said-stimulus-would-cap-unemployment-8-/

Yes, the chart you said I posted was in response to your lie that the UE rate was at 9% when Obama took office.

And the other chart is obviously based on averages, hence the 9.42 number! Duh.

Why does your fact checker site exclude the WH chart showing UE peaking at 8% with stimulus and peaking at 9% without?

OH, and you've yet to tell us how penis washing is creating jobs!?

I am sure you are very clever, showing UE under Obama to be above 9 percent which the CBO projected before he came into office.

Also, I posted explanation for the 9% UE rate under Bush (seasonally unadjusted) which you never disputed but now you call it a 'lie'. Strange.

And for the last time, 8% was a projection, not a promise.

Looks like you only see what you want to see to me.
AIDS related? Why would telling idiots to wash their dick cost nearly a million dollars of tax payers money. It was a typical stupid big government irresponsible waste any way you want to slice it.
"The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), a division of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), spent $823,200 of economic stimulus funds in 2009 on a study by a UCLA research team to teach uncircumcised African men how to wash their genitals after having sex."

8% promise, 9.6% now. Period.
