2 senators: Monkey study embodies stimulus misuse
(By Sarah Morayati, Winston-Salem Journal) - Three research projects at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, including one that studied the effects of cocaine on monkeys, appear in a report issued by U.S. Sens. John McCain and Tom Coburn that criticizes the use of federal stimulus money.
The report, called "Summertime Blues," was issued earlier this week and cites 100 projects around the country that received stimulus money.
McCain, R-Ariz., and Coburn, R-Okla., have been frequent critics of President Obama's stimulus package, saying that it has not helped lower the nation's jobless rate. The projects on the list, they say, are proof of that.
