Lets cut them off at the pass with 7.1 bill Bird Flu bill

[Stop Shrub]

Heres the bottom line frist (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,178358,00.html) frist is going on the air and saying that it would cost america 675 billion dollars and 2 million american lives if the bird flu made it to america. He is clearly trying to scare the shit out of us so we let him spend more of our money without paying attention to where it is going ahead of time. I make no claim to these estimates being unfounded, however i want to know why the repukes are going around scaring the shit out of middle america and pushing this 7.1 billion dollar bill before the new year.

1) We aren't in a crisis yet, why are they trying to make this seem like a few weeks will make all the difference? Why aren't we trying to really see whats going on and come up with a constructive outlined and responsive plan to combat the possible outbreak?

2) Why don't we find out exactly where that 7.1 billion is supposed to go? I know in my heart that there are some real corrupt pharmaceutical CEO's behind this legislation. Lets head them off at the pass lets find out who is gonna benefit and how exactly the repukes are getting paid off for this latest favor to corporate america.

We need to start being proactive, we can't stand by wait for this to become a scandal and then bitch about how it happened in the first place. I know there is corruption behind this, any logic minded american knows there is always an alterior motive to anything and everything the repukes try to shove down our throats. Lets find it ahead of time, lets catch them in the middle of their windup rather then playing catchup the rest of the game.

I am at work and haven't had the chance to look into this, additionally i apologize if there is another spot on the board where we are already discussing this. I just feel like with a minimal amount of effort we as a community can uncover the corruption before it goes into law and really keep the momentum up. Please someone with resources and time help me organize a section to get some research done in regards to this situation. Thanks
