Bwahahahahahaha -- malls and sporting events! Oh good gods...
Yeah. Um... right. I guess they didn't mention the fact that bc. DHHS' budget keeps getting bits taken out of it so they can spend more billions in the Sandbox, the scientists are trying to cobble together a vaccine using baling twine and chewing gum...
I know, it's really very sad- and a bit embarrasing- how stupid the local news anchors are. It's not just that station, either. We have three major local news networks, and they're all that bad. Actually now that I think of it, that channel is actually the best. Still dumb, though.
No, they sort of left that part of it out, even on the ABC national news. I wondered if something like that might be happening, though.
and the most pertinent and worrying parts are: Dr. Rex Archer, health director of Kansas City, Mo., and president of the National Association of County and City Health Officials said the president's call for an extra $100 million in funding for public health preparedness does not make up for the shortfall in his proposed fiscal 2006 budget for HHS. "They took away $130 million, and now they are only giving back $100 million," Archer said.
The Bush administration, in its proposed 2006 HHS budget, slashed funding for public health preparedness by $129 million, from $926 million in 2005 to $797 million. The House version of the 2006 HHS bill appropriates $853 million, while the Senate's version sticks with the $797 million the administration requested.Whee. Yay. And ooh -- he asked for $7.1 billion to prepare for Bird Flu. And how much to go get more soldiers killed
