Answers below:

1 - # of deaths Swine Flu = 3
2 - # of deaths ordinary Flu = 36,000
3 - # of schools closed = 725
4 - Which party cut spending = Republicans.

Last thoughts - 3 people have died and had the $900 million dollars been left in the budget it would have meant and average of $300,000,000 per fatality. The GOP was ridiculed by liberal bloggers for playing politics while making the budget cuts. Meanwhile hundreds of schools were closed, an estimated 54,000 students were forced to stay home during the 'crisis' and the death rate is miniscule compared to an ordinary flu season. Only God knows how much money has been spent on this silly Swine Flu, but I would estimate in the billions...

All that, and the federal government thinks it can manage our healthcare system. Good F'in luck with that Barack Obama....
