Health bill sparks nanny state debate

Politico reports:
For critics of the Democrats’ $849 billion health care bill, this may be the ultimate irony: millions of dollars set aside so the government can help teach citizens how to handle their own money better.

The funding is part of a broader, $375 million program aimed at promoting responsible lifestyles — a five-year plan to fund state efforts to educate adolescents on abstinence, contraception and other “adult preparation subjects” such as healthy relationships, increased child-parent communication and “financial literacy.”
That's right, the people that brought you massive deficits, corruption, and Fannie Mae( 4% down mortgages) are going to lecture people about personal responsibility !
