For months, administration officials have worked with conservative groups on the proposal, which would provide at least $1.5 billion for training to help couples develop interpersonal skills that sustain "healthy marriages."

The proposal is the type of relatively inexpensive but politically potent initiative that appeals to White House officials at a time when they are squeezed by growing federal budget deficits.

"A lot of conservatives are very pleased with the healthy marriage initiative."

Republican government, conservative groups = federal program to teach the people interpersonal skills - on the cheap of course. Aren't you glad the Democrats aren't in control?

"appeals to White House officials at a time when they are squeezed by growing federal budget deficits."

They are "squeezed by deficits" because they are pissing OUR money away. It's we who are being "squeezed"
This is like a drunk crying because his bottle is empty.
YO! The fault is he drank it.

As to the other nut, Bush, he spent it.
