"The U.S. Treasury Department reported that it has fined biotechnology firm Chiron Corp. $168,500 for illegally exporting goods to Cuba.

According to Chiron, from 1999 to 2002, the Emeryville-based company shipped five vaccines for infants and children to Cuba from its plants in Germany and Italy....

The fine is the second-largest civil penalty issued this year by the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control, or OFAC."

Why does Bush hate children?

Because he eliminates, cuts, or is willing to let monies dedicated to specific programs turn into so-called "bloc grants" to states. These "bloc grants" to states are wasting our money because the state then has to setup their own management system to administer the program, and each program must fight for funding from the bloc grant.
