Why spend $700,000 for research when you can spend $4 million for promotion?
The federal government is spending millions of dollars on a publicity campaign while its hurricane forecasters are struggling with budget cuts, the National Hurricane Center's director said Thursday.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is spending up to $4 million to publicize a 200th anniversary celebration, said Bill Proenza, who heads the hurricane center, part of the National Weather Service, which is a NOAA agency. At the same time, it has cut $700,000 from hurricane research, he said.
Of course, this isn't anything new: they've been running Iraq the same way for years now. And the latest is pure, undiluted GOP horseshit at its finest--a threatened veto of a bill to raise salaries...in the military.
