the projecting you do on a consistent basis is laughable. You continuously brand people as being a brainwash vehicle for their daddy's opinions. It is so obvious that you have some issues with your father that you need to work out.
30% of the deaths in this country are heart disease related
25% of the deaths in this country are Cancer related
less than 1% are AIDS (about 15,000) related, less than diabetes or suicide. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/pdf/nvsr50_16t1.pdf">http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/pdf/nvsr50_16t1.pdf</a><!-- m -->
In 1988, there were also only about 15,000 people who died from AIDS <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.aidsinfobbs.org/articles/wallstj/89/300">http://www.aidsinfobbs.org/articles/wallstj/89/300</a><!-- m -->
Now, forgetting the spending on Cancer vs spending on AIDS, which is not even close to being even on a dollar spent to death ratio....The government spends $1700 per person with AIDS, and $20 per person with diabetes. The National Institute of Health spends about $150,000 per AIDS death
There were only 600,000 AIDS cases reported in total from '82 to '99. 600,000! The government spent $6 billionon AIDS in the 80s alone starting in '83 the year after the disease was discovered. Spending on AIDS roughly doubled every single year from 1982 until 1988 (growing to $1.3B), when Reagan left office, whereas during the Clinton years, AIDS spending only doubled in the 8 years he was in office (growing from $2b to $3.8B)

The belief that Regan "ignored AIDS" in the 80s is not a phenomenon that was created after left office, people thought it at the time, and they were wrong. They thought it at the time because everyone was deluged with how AIDS is just a massive killer, and its an epidemic that was going to wipe out the planet and the Government wasn't doing anying to stop it. It just was never the case, and the government did then, and has continued to spend dramatically more on AIDS than any other disease, infectious or not no matter what metric you use to compare them.
Now, about uninformed opinions and doing research? Are the wild right wing CDC and Kaiser Health reports unreliable?
