I'm just glad Biden has kept an eye on this because "nobody messes with Joe."


Feds spent $800,000 of economic stimulus on African genital-washing program - News - Tom Coburn, M.D., United States Senator from Oklahoma
"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.

The genitalia-washing program is part of a larger $12-million UCLA study examining how to better encourage Africans to undergo voluntary HIV testing and counseling – however, only the penis-washing study received money from the 2009 economic stimulus law. The washing portion of the study is set to end in 2011."

And who says DC doesn't understand how to manage money?
I am certain that the majority of americans would prefer that we spend our tax dollars teaching Africans personal hygene rather than reducing our debt, feeding homeless americans, or border security. Yep makes perfect sense.
