President Obama is putting his own ideological stamp on federal spending in his proposed 2010 budget by cutting cash for abstinence-only sex ed programs.

He's taken a scalpel to a pair of $100 million George W. Bush-era programs that exclusively preached abstinence. Obama is replacing them with $110 million for comprehensive teen pregnancy prevention.

"It's about time that evidence-based management - and sanity - return to family planning programs," said Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-Manhattan).

I liked this cut more before he added back in $110m in "comprehensive teen pregnancy prevention."

Overall, he cut spending by $17 billion, cutting or reducing 121 federal programs.

This particular spending is a drop in the bucket, but it wasn't about cutting spending per se. It was cutting the spending on a program that didn't work, that was built on the usual "today is opposite day" assertions of the religious nuts in the GOP.
