Well, you’re wrong.

I can’t get your link to work. From barflytom’s #148:

From the 2011 budget…

IMMUNIZATION AND RESPIRATORY DISEASES
In FY 2011, CDC’s programmatic requirement for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases is $735,807,000, an increase of $17,347,000 above the FY 2010 Omnibus. This amount includes CDC’s FY 2011 Immunization and Respiratory Diseases budget request of $579,463,000 and a transfer of $156,344,000 from the balances of the FY 2009 Supplemental Appropriations for Pandemic Influenza in the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund (PHSSEF).

If that’s accurate, it appears that the FY11 $735,807,000 budget for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases is predicated on a transfer of $156,344,000, which is what the Republican proposal appears to eliminate. I thinks that’s all barfly was trying to understand.
