It's all OK, folks. 80 billion dollars cut from health and education...but we're giving 245 million for school chaplains. So if your struggling single supporting mum can't afford to take you to the doctor, there'll be a nice chaplain to pray for you. :rolleyes:
But probably only if your kids go to a catholic or posh private school. Dont know many state schools that can afford to hire a chaplain - even with the $20,000 discount on offer. So effectively free money for schools which would have hired a priest anyway. At least we can see the money cut from science is going to a good cause.
