put 2 and 2 together and whaddaya get?

USAT fronts an in-house analysis showing that most nursing homes have been cited for some form of fire-code violations, but with weak federal and state regulations only a tiny fraction of homes are ever fined. Moreover, Congress has declined to mandate that all nursing homes have fire sprinklers. The nursing industry argues that installing them would cost too much. The industry has also donated $11 million to congressional campaigns since 1999.

too bad USAT didn't bother to find out how much it would cost to put those sprinklers in, because i'll betcha a nickel it could be done for 11 mil.
