One of my favorite boondoggles...

is the government's program to reduce STDs via abstinence education. In FY2005 you and I spent $158,000,000 on these programs. Did they work? The GAO tried to answer this question. The short answer is - no one knows. Furthermore, some of these programs provide educational materials that are based on wishes rather than facts.

Could we use this $158,000,000 more intelligently?
