Bush’s education budget
Of the 141 program cuts offered Monday in President Bush proposed budget, 42 were education programs.
And then there’s this. Bush proposes $250 million in new spending on programs to encourage “healthy marriages” and to “strengthen fatherhood” and another $204 million for “abstinence only” sex education classes, which critics deride as a failed program.
And at the same time, Bush proposes eliminating programs that help poor kids go to college, saving $460 million.
So I’d like to hear from you. What do you think of the president’s priorities?
