Our economy is in the tank and we spend this kind of money on this. Hire me, I can give you answers like this all day long for alot less money. How on earth this was funded for 5 years is beyond me. I wonder how much a year is actually wasted on studies like this.

This is the kind of money that is spent when the skeptics and the instant generation require answers with PROOF in triplicate. Anybody with eyes knows that all crap breaks loose in the dirtier and darker bars of choice than in a metro dance club.

But then again, ya gotta see the proof...don't take anybody's word for it.

Usually if your an everyday Joe it's called money laundering. But when the government does it it's called a federal study or research grant or etc. For this exact reason people should be hanging these idiots on the Whitehouse front lawn. Anyone connected to these kinds of studies or blatant waste of taxpayer money when simple common sense would take less time and money should be handed a tight fitting noose. But people don't care and the government knows it so round and round we go.

money being laundered??.....maybe.

But think about it....10 or 12 government hired pHd's on the government payroll...each likely making 150,000-250,000 a year.

Sitting in a star-bucks...thinking "gee..we need do something to justify or wage"..

let's throw something together...

I have personally seen this kind of waste.... not "black-OP funds" being laundered.

Ya know, for another 500k, I'd give them the top 10 reasons fights start in these sort of bars, and I'd have the results in 2 1/2 years.................half the price and half the time, it's a bargain.

THIS IS SO FUNNY
Except it’s our money!
Over 5 years the $918,000 was probably their Bar Tab!

That's EXACTLY what I was thinking... I mean how else do you conduct such a "study"?

I propose a study to determine whether humans breathe air. I will require 1 million dollars to conduct this important work.
Thank you.
