Congress Pulls Plug on Viagra Subsidies

Wow, I had no idea that the U.S. government was subsidizing the cost of Viagra, and other crap, via the Medicaid program. How absolutely appalling, many citizens go without basic healthcare, while slime ball men are getting their rocks off using our tax dollars. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a strong supporter of taxation for providing a strong social network of assistance for those flirting with poverty. However, subsidizing sexual dysfunction drugs is a flagrant waste of money.

One can only wonder how long these subsidies would have continued if it were not for the redirection of funds required to support those affected by hurricane Katrina.
