The 10 Craziest Government Subsidies

Ask Men has the craziest government subsidies.Here's one:
In 2003, Iowa Senator Tom Harkin managed to get a $250,000 subsidy from the federal government to implement the National Preschool Anger Management Project. The project, which apparently exists in other areas across the country, is intended to help teachers and parents instruct preschoolers on how to develop positive coping skills for reducing and managing stress in their lives. Kiddies are taught stress-reduction techniques that will allow them to curtain their feelings of anger and anxiety. The subsidized program is aimed at those children who are living in high-risk environments, wherever in Iowa that may be.
Senator Harkin is nothing more than a con man stealing money from people who pay taxes.
