PhD in Basketweaving gets federal monies?

[KarlInOhio]

Number of PhDs receiving federal aid more than tripled from 2007 to 2010

Did they include the number getting federal grant money to study shrimp on treadmills or global warming?

The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present -- and is gravely to be regarded. - President Eisenhower's farewell address, 17 January 1961.

I’m confused: Shaquille O’Neal got a PhD to qualify for food stamps?

I’d love to know how these numbers compare to those with BAs, BSs, MAs, MBAs, MSs, etc.

What a deal!
