I'm wondering, do you remember, and/or is it true ....... that a few years ago Congress, at the very end of the year, snuck into the budget an amount of (hush) money for the people of Canada who were sickened or killed by the selling of that Arkansas tainted blood?

[T'wit]

I myself did not hear such a story, which does not mean it isn't true. Don't know.

Canadians have been warring for years about it. A compensation package for victims was passed but apparently not delivered, or was too small. (One or another of our Canadian friends will know this story better than I.) The Canadian Red Cross had to offer a settlement to keep from going bankrupt in lawsuits (its own blood agency did go bankrupt many years ago).

Hey, BigM, check in here and help with this info, my memory is a bit dusty :-)

I can visualize a campaign ad series featuring victims and family survivors of victims of the clintons' tainted blood....

I don't know, but surely those victims were due some compensation.

I propose seizing all assets and attaching all future earnings of Slick Willy and his husband, and using that to start a fund.

I do remember - either it was done, or talked about, or removed. But the issue of paying money to Canada was out there!
