re: #210 Barflytom

You still haven’t answered - what figure are you saying the GOP proposal will be for actual spending on immunization etc ?

Jesus, you’re lazy.

The GOP proposal is for $584,276,000 in infectious disease spending.

The 2010 level of spending was $718,460,000.

So, that’s a cut.

You’d notice, if you fucking bothered to read the budget you’re supposedly concerned about, that that $156,344,000 transfer is offset by a lower base budget. The base budget from authority in 2010 was $705,596,000— in 2011 it’s $570,176,000— because of the income from that transfer.
