"Why ...think spending 1.5 Billion to support marriage sounds pretty left wing?"

>>> LOL!!!!!!!!

>>> Er, BECAUSE IT IS! (Socialized medicine, that is... "Big Mamma Government" wasting taxpayer money on touchie-feelie social engineering programs. Big Mamma government wasting tax dollars to tell couples to "listen to each other more", giving advice on how to re-heat food for two wage-earner families, et al, ad nauseum!)

I make the case that you have to draw the line somewhere on government Socialism, Big Mamma programs... and there are LOTS of things that are more appropriately done, and more efficiently done, by private or charitable organizations --- and this is sure one of them!)
