Tim asks:

> Again I ask, name one country that spends more on these two diseases than
> the US

As it's written, the question is misphrased. There are very few countries in
the world with larger populations than the US, and certainly none that come
close to its economic size, thus the question has to be normalized as either
a matter of spending per capita or as percentage of GDP. In either case,
there are dozens of countries that invest more than does the US.

.........

Come on Wirt!  Now you are telling Tim what question he can ask?
Or how he is allowed to ask them?

His grammar is acceptable, and that is the end of it.  The answer is
'No one spends more than the USA on this'.  I want to see you post
that answer, can you?
