RAW STORY
Fox News/screen grab
Stephen Moore, an economic adviser to President-elect Donald Trump, argued that a $419,470 cocaine study on rats was what was contributing "so much" to the U.S. national debt.
In a Tuesday interview on Fox News, Moore reacted to Sen. Rand Paul's (R-KY) annual "Festivus" list that complained about spending programs he opposed.
Moore pointed to the $419,470 study on rats and $12 million to fund a pickleball complex in Las Vegas as prime offenders for creating national debt.
"I mean, pickleball, I love playing pickleball, but I don't think the federal government should be subsidizing it, or football stadiums, or there's another one where they're giving rats cocaine to see what happens when the rats take cocaine," Moore opined. "Gee, I wonder what happens under those circumstances. I mean, it just goes on and on and on."
"And this is what is contributing so much to our $35.5 trillion national debt," he added. "And frankly, those are the things that should just be eliminated. We don't have the money to do it."
