States Get $225 Million To Fight Bird Flu

However it seems like the rest is up to us to take care of. We have seen this same lack of action when it comes to helping the world wide fight on bird flu.

(Reuters)HHS has stressed that state and local governments, businesses and individuals must bear most of the burden of preparing for a pandemic or biological attack. Leavitt says the federal government is not equipped to do all the work and does not have enough money.

Interesting. So if New York was hit with a biological attack, who do you think would foot the bill, New Yorkers? I think not! And maybe had we had, say an extra $255 billion,(current price of Iraq war) maybe we could get the right funding.
