I am glad we have so much free money to spend.
Typically, I don't butt heads with you about politics... but your math is based on very flawed logic. First of all, the money he requested is for more than treatment of currently infected individuals. The last time that swine flu showed it's teeth we immunized 40 million people... so that means that if an immunization program is implemented we will have to pay for vaccine, logistics, administration, information and service announcements. If I were you, I would figure out which companies manufacture vaccines for swine flu and invest.
