Top 10 Most Wasteful Federal Budget Expenses

5. $300,000 to conclude that girls play with Barbie dolls more than boys.

The New York Post reported:

The National Eye Institute and National Science Foundation spent $300,000 to conclude that girls play with Barbie dolls more than boys — and could better pick out the faces of Barbie from a lineup of assorted dolls, according to “Wastebook.” “Our nation’s most prestigious science agencies are literally playing with dolls, to study what is obvious to children who haven’t even graduated from preschool yet — whether boys or girls spend more time playing with Barbie dolls,” the report said.”

A common observation for centuries would reveal that girls prefer dolls over boys. This study is an attempt to construe gender roles and try to scrounge for scientific “evidence” to fit a liberal objective.
