There is no end to the wasteful spending of federal dollars. Yesterday I blogged about VA’s outrageous spending of $86.5 million on conferences and travel last year — spending a key VA official admitted is wasteful. Today comes this story from the Washington Examiner about a $100,000 NIH grant to the University of Houston:
According to the school’s release, “Parrish notes one of the big issues for this population of adolescent girls is condom negotiation. They may have a boyfriend who says it isn’t ‘cool’ to use a condom. To prepare the girls for these types of situations, the counselors and pediatricians will teach them how to negotiate condom use with their partner. The intervention also helps empower and motivate girls to make healthier choices regarding their alcohol use, smoking and prevention of unplanned pregnancy.”
