That’s what leadership is: being able to make hard choices and selling that to the voters. I haven’t met anyone opposed to disaster preparedness funding, but I have met plenty of people opposed to the bottomless pit spending for various causes du jour.

How do you convince people in 2011 that preparing for a pandemic is not a "cause du jour"?

Nobody would have bought that a month ago. In 2011 you would have been laughed out of the room.
