The GOP House has passed a budget EVERY YEAR. Their cards have always been on the table. It is Barack whose fake "plans" can be summarized on a cocktail napkin.
And now??
Budgets a one year thing. How about a long term plan for now?
What the hell, it's only the taxpayer's money. Not like there is any reason to be responsible with it. Remember this when you see your taxes jump in JA.
Um, would you prefer having to pay the medical bills of those girls after they get an STD? or for numerous babies because their boyfriends refused to use condoms?
Oh, wait, we can just tell them to be abstinent. Yeah, that'll work.
Exactly. $100,000 barely covers just one high risk pregnancy and delivery.
Seriously, too many people cannot see the forest for the trees.
Best just go over the "cliff" now and get it over with. Let the carbon taxes come, raise the gase tax, raid folks 401K's, go green, build the his speed rail with no money, confiscate all earnings of the evil rich..........fire it all off one after the other. This is foreward according to the progs. Lets do it. I'm all in.
Thread title and OP are inaccurate. $100,000 is not being spent solely on "condom negotiation" or teaching girls about condoms. HappyTexan was right, the money is for a study "to determine ways to help them choose safer lifestyles and avoid pregnancy, including better 'condom negotiation' tactics."
'Condom negotiation' is just one of the things that will be taught, and the girls who receive such information will be studied to compare pregnancy/STD results versus girls who didn't get such information.
"The goal, said the school, is to determine if intervention programs will help the kids make better life decisions."
Debating the merits of spending tax dollars on teaching young women about sexual health is one thing, but hyperventilating about "IT'S FOR CONDOM TRAINING OMG!" tends to throw rational debate out the window, which is the tactic of the Washington Examiner and OP with their reliance on creating outrage and emotional response rather than analytical discussion.

Budgets are proposed spending plans looking out 10 YEARS.
