Medicare and Social
Security Trustees Report
Last week, the
Medicare and Social Security Trustees released their annual
report on the financial status of the Social Security and
Medicare trust funds. The Medicare report shows the fund
approaching a deficit and insolvency quickly, with a deficit in
the Hospital Insurance Trust Fund by 2010 and bankruptcy in
2019, seven years earlier than last year's report
predicted.

The RSC prepared a
document highlighting the Clinton-era "Milk Matters" campaign--complete
with taxpayer-funded coloring books and stickers--run by the
National Institutes of Health's Institute of Child Health and
Human Development.

"House
Rejects Bid to Block Sex Research"
WASHINGTON (AP) - The
House handed a narrow defeat Thursday to conservatives who
wanted to forbid the National
Institutes of Health from giving grants to researchers
conducting four sexual research
projects, including studies of older men and of San Francisco's
Asian prostitutes and masseuses.
The 212-210 vote derailed an effort led by
Rep. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., to block the grants for next
year, which are expected to total $1.4 million.

"I ask my colleagues, who thinks this
stuff up?" Toomey said of the sexual research projects he
singled out. "These are not worthy ... of taxpayer funds."
The RSC prepared a detailed
report on certain grants made by the federally-funded
National Institutes of Health (NIH):

For example, did you know that millions of your
taxpayer dollars have funded studies on the sexual
habits of older men, reactions to pornography, American
Indian transgendered people, and Chinese pandas?

Abortion, Family Planning &
Abstinence:
United Nations Population
Fund (UNFPA)
Recently, the Bush Administration announced that a $34 million
appropriation will not be used to fund the United Nations Population
Fund (UNFPA), because "UNFPA's support of, and involvement in, China's
population-planning activities allows the Chinese government to
implement more effectively its program of coercive abortion." The
Administration will propose that the money instead be used for the Child
Survival and Health Program Fund of the United States Agency for
International Development (USAID).
