I think there is a clear distinction between spending money to buy support from the voters and spending money to just spend money. I was specifically referring to the second.
I also think it is easy to look at titles and brief descriptions of projects and see how ridiculous they are. And be wrong. Proxmeyer did that with cow methane and eventually admitted he was wrong. For example, I can easily see how the pigeon study could be a waste or a sound investment of dollars - impossible to tell with that description.
