taxpayer subsidized condoms
On his blog, Gary North has an amusing take on formerly subsidized condoms for college students-- with a few good pokes at academia thrown in.

Thanks for coming! I plan to post a lot of interesting articles and comment on a wide range of things-- from political to religious, from private to public, from formal writing on public policy to snippets on random observations.

About Me
- Name: Eric Schansberg
- Location: Jeffersonville, Indiana, United States
First and foremost, I am saved by God's grace as manifested most clearly through the atoning death of Jesus Christ-- and thus, adopted into His family. As a result, I increasingly seek to extend His grace to others in my daily life. On the home front, I am a husband and father to four young men (two by adoption and two the more conventional way). Professionally, I am an economist who loves to teach and is active in public policy circles. Vocationally, I am an active writer and the author of three books (one on the book of Joshua; two on public policy-- one secular, one Christian). Finally, I am the co-author of a 21-month discipleship curriculum, Thoroughly Equipped (and a lighter 36-week version), for developing competent lay-leaders in the Church. Related to that work, Kurt and I have two books, Enough Horses in the Barn and Roll Up Your Sleeves.

The column doesn't mention if one of the purposes of subsidized condoms was to reduce the rate of transmission of HIV and other STDs in the college population. It is possible that the modest amount of money spent by the government on condoms was more than outweighed by the savings in health costs from the reduction of STDs.
