to $700K in Federal "Abstinence Education" payola.
I am heartily in accord with his excellency with respect to this matter, the money could be better spent on flood control, metal detectors or any number of practical things....abstinence education itself being on a par with astrology or divination by way of dove entrails in Humble Elias' opinion.
Moreover it is yet another form of "wowser welfare", and is therefore less focused on results and more on spreading lucre among the President's roilsome base of book worshippers and professional virtue-pimps.
Don't get me wrong, abstinence works great, if you run a containment wall between the boys and girls. However when it fails (and it does pretty often) you have nothing to fall back on since you bet the farm on an artificial, exclusionary and a theological type of birth control.
Anyway we can't spend the money on anything else, so I say the hell with it.
