But it creates jobs..government jobs. Since public/private industry are laying off about 500K per month the government has a lot of catching up to do if job creation is their job now.

Try to be grateful for it. I'm thankful that I live in a country that's wealthy enough to fund programs like this.
Do you understand our Gov is BROKE!

More like Virginia Foxx.
She doesn't want any more hate crime "hoaxes" to occur against gay men after they leave a bar.

As a gay man, this really pi$$es me off. Why are we going to ARGENTINA to do this? Wouldn't the money have been better spent here in the USA, like maybe bars in NYC, LA, Dallas or even here in Waco? I think someone just wanted a "vacation" in Argentina, so that is the REAL reason why the money is being spent there!

I'm not straight so I cant speak for them.
I am just saying, the money doesn't need to be spent in Argentina.......they could have spent it here and gotten the same results.
