Why are you so dishonest, CG?

Projects are keeping thousands of people employed and when completed will provide a real value to the economy for decades.
[You lie because you have no arguments in reality which support your failed ideology]
Everything CG just said was the truth. It's you liberals who are the ones being dishonest. A congressional report on the waste from the stimulus plan found the followin (and this is just a VERY SMALL portion):
How are those photos of work in process dishonest?
* The Coburn-McCain report takes issue with stimulus spending on projects like one that entailed
research on how cocaine affects monkeys. The Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center was
awarded $71,623 to study what the report calls, "Monkeys Getting High for Science."
I understand why the GOP would cherry pick projects to discredit the Obama Administration, suggesting, "therefore the stimulus failed" is foolish.
* 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.
Do you know how Penicillin was discovered?
*Syracuse*professor of psychology*Michael Carey received $219,000 in federal*stimulus*money for*a study that examines the sex patterns of college women.*
Aren't you curious about human behavior, how it might change fromj generation to generation and the impact on our species?
*$1.15 million in stimulus funds was allocated*for the installation of a new guard rail*around the non-existent Optima Lake in Oklahoma.
I suppose a lake that doesn't exist is a hole in the earth and a danger.
*Researchers at the State University of New York at Buffalo*received $389,000 to pay 100*residents of Buffalo*$45 each to record how much malt liquor they drink and how much pot they smoke each day.* Instead of spending nearly $400,000, the U.S. government could have achieved the same goal by having a couple of scientists join a fraternity.
Yeah, I get it. Being an anti intellectual your comment makes sense.
*$100,000*in federal stimulus funds were used*for a martini bar and a brazilian steakhouse.
Sound cool. How many were employed and what revenue is this establishment producing today?
*A dinner cruise company in Chicago*got nearly $1 million in stimulus funds to combat terrorism.
*$233,000 in stimulus money went to the University of California at San Diego to study why Africans vote.
Again, you scorn acadmia without discussion of the purpose of such a study.
*The Cactus Bug Project at the University Of Florida*was allocated*$325,394 in stimulus*funds to study the mating decisions of cactus bugs.* According to the project proposal,*one of the questions that will be answered by the study is this:*"Whether males with large weapons are more or less attractive to females."
Cherry picking questions isn't a very powerful argument.
*One Denver developer received $13 million in tax credits to*construct a senior housing complex despite that fact that the same developer is being sued as a slumlord for running rodent-infested apartment buildings in the city of San Francisco.
*Sheltering Arms Senior Services was awarded*a contract worth $22.3 million in stimulus*money to weatherize homes for*poor families in Houston,*Texas -*but a new report from Texas Watchdog*says that*the weatherization work was performed*so badly*that 33 of the 53 homes will need to be completely redone.
Government needs to better supervise and regulate the private sector
*A liberal theater in Minnesota*named*"In the Heart of the Beast"*(in reference to*a*well known*quote by*communist radical*Che Guevara) received $100,000 for socially conscious puppet shows.
More scorn. This time for the entertainment community with a touch of the RED Scare.
*California's inspector general found that $1 million in stimulus funds for a program to give summer jobs to young people was improperly used for overhead expenses such as rent and utility bills.
If the funds were misused a crime occuried. Gee, that never happens in America.
*Landon Cox, a Duke University assistant professor of computer science, was awarded*$498,000 in stimulus money*to study Facebook.
And why not?
*The town*of Union, New York is being urged*to spend $578,000*in stimulus money that*it did not request for a homelessness problem that it claims it does not have.
At whose urging?
*Lastly, who could forget the*$3.4 million "ecopassage" to help turtles cross a highway in Tallahassee, Florida?
Well, turtles are part of the ecosystem so the answer is you scorn our environement too. No suprise there.
All of that debt for absurd projects that will have ZERO value for our future. Knowing how monkeys react on cocaine or how Cactus Bugs mate is just a way to make sure liberals who don't want to work maintain a steady income for doing nothing.
