Where is my cut of the $100 million?

I got married last year and am left wondering where my cut of the $100 million to support healthy marriages went?

About the qualifications for this job...

I'm curious: When somebody is appointed to a position dealing with "Abstinence Only," does that person have to undergo a background check to determine if he or she was abstinent before marriage?

Is there any interviewing of the candidate's sorority sisters or fraternity brothers? Does anybody do a computer search of the candidate's past addresses to see if any domicile was shared by somebody of the opposite sex while not legally married? Does anybody put the candidate's spouse under oath and ask for testimony that the candidate was suitably inexperienced on the honeymoon? That he or she stood next to the marital bed on the wedding night and excalimed "Wow! What's that?"

Just curious.
