Oh Goodie: DoD Spends $5.2 Million on “Goldfish Studies” - Daniel Doherty

 

To cut the budget, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is looking under the sea for solutions.

Paul said Thursday he would give President Barack Obama the power to cut the $5.2 million spent on what he called “goldfish studies” and other wasteful military spending as the country inches closer to March 1, when the $1.2 trillion cuts in federal spending over the next decade take effect.

“In the military they have $5.2 million they spent on goldfish — studying goldfish to see how democratic they were and if we could learn about democracy from goldfish. I would give the president the authority to go ahead and cut all $5 million in goldfish studies,” Paul said on Fox News.
