Let me help them out a bit....
here are a few things they can cut...
The Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center was awarded $71,623 to study what the report calls, "Monkeys Getting High for Science."
I'll tape a few local kids that are high, for $ 71. 63 just so congress can get an idea how it works..
The California Academy of Sciences is receiving nearly $1 million in stimulus funds to send researchers to the Southwest Indian Ocean Islands and East Africa to capture, photograph and analyze thousands of exotic ants.
how about we all mail an a envelope full of ants to congress... cost about a buck..
Researchers at Wake Forest University have received nearly $300,000 to study whether integral yoga "can be an effective method to reduce the frequency and/or severity of hot flashes" in breast cancer survivors.
while I don't have any solution here, as I do not want to insult any one with cancer.. ... I think the study is insulting enough..
oil giant BP, the company behind the worst oil spill in the nation's history, is benefiting from $308 million given to Hydrogen Energy California -- a company it owns -- to build a California power plant
a reward for dumpimg oil and halting drilling? just cancel it and we will have already saved more then Obama's high cost panel..
U.S. Forest Service in Washington state, which is spending more than half a million dollars to replace the windows on a visitor center at Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument that today sits closed with no set re-open date.
well why not let me get a contractor buddy put new windows in... it would cost me at least a grand to travel to Washington state to nail up a few boards on the closed building.. I think I could get it done for way under a half million.. say $5000
BTW.. the panel wasn't free... like my advice... rumor has it the hotel cost at least $250 - $450 a day... per person...
see it is easy to cut spending...
look at what needs done... and get it done... Congress wants to study ants.. let them.... start with this bugger, he was free
