I'm on board with the fund by the chemical makers.  Clean up the mess you make.

20 million is chump change for such a big problem. It will run "one test". Also, a fund for paying for chem damage. You will still have a causation problem and the little beek will never be able to collect. Sorry, nothing but political lip service.

Is this $20M an earmark attached to another larger bill going before Bush..?

If it'll help big business Bush will sign it - if it's to help the average guy, forget it.  Obviously this bill is to help both so we'll see.

It'll surprize me if the $20 million isn't stripped fron the Farm Bill before Bush looks at it.

It's idiots like this guy ( Noel Sheppard ) that want to inject politics into everything at the expensive of everyone just because he's so simple minded he knows no difference. He's trying to become famous off the expense of everyone else.

Here's alittle information on Noel Sheppard the author of this political (CCD ) article. His profile explains everything.
