The Federal Government Thinks It Can Advice You On Marriage

The USA Today reports:

Congress approved a $750 million, five-year plan aimed at building healthier marriages Wednesday as part of its deficit reduction bill.

The measure now goes to President Bush. It includes $100 million a year for marriage-related programs and $50 million a year for fatherhood programs. This is the first time Congress has earmarked money for marriage programs, says Ron Haskins of the Brookings Institution's Center on Children and Families.

Federal grants to local groups will fund programs such as communication and relationship skills training or community-wide activities for high schoolers. Bush has backed marriage-strengthening efforts, citing research that children from two-parent families are better off emotionally, socially and economically

You've got to love that Orwellian sentence as part of a so called deficit reduction plan Congress is going to spend money which may some day lead to Big Brother telling you who to marry.These are the same people that are in charge of the U.S. Postal System.You don't see a pattern here? The government that's big enough to give you everything you want is certainly big enough to make pronouncements on marriage.Plus give Warren Buffett free Viagra while it's over 8 Trillion Dollars in debt.
