Don't ask how much it costs either.
Picking on gays costs a lot of money. So do Bush's government-sponsored PR costs. 300-some million to pick on gays and 1.6 billion to make us think Bush is doing the right thing. Why is this legal? Did Clin-ton spend this much money selling his bullshit? Shouldn't this violate some campaign finance law?

Yeah, he's not campaigning this term, but it is like free political advertisement for the Republican party and whoever their next candidate is. This is a waste of money. For 1.6 billion dollars we could increase the NIH budget by ~2% and meet inflationary increases in research spending rather than cutting the budget and falling behind on our committments to R&D.
