In their insane, deficit cutting zeal, the GOP cut $600 million in funding from the Centers for Disease Control. Wonderful. Now we have ebola here in the U.S.and by the way, it couldn't have landed in a worse place--Texas--that's because the state, under moron governor Rick Perry, slashed health care funding to the bone. So if ebola has any chance of becoming a full-blown epidemic, it couldn't have found a better place to start.

Mike none of these people have the brains and stones to deal with something like this.... scary!!!!!
This just in and so yeah we are doing this thing.
ReplyDeleteZombieland USA here we come seeing the officials are happy reporting stuff like this last month for no reason.
Isn't having Neocons in power so much fun? Go! Go! Ebola-Chan!
Plus all the cuts to the 29 or so National Institutes of Health.
ReplyDeleteNot to mention cuts to DoD tropical disease R&D & protection programs.
Over $2billion in cuts?
There was millions in recent years for questionable vaccines for anthrax, but no preventive "market" for ebola? (just to name ONE naturally occurring epidemic threat)
All because we're running out of fiat?
Where do we get "fiat?" FromPublic Initiative.
Where to we get Public Initiative? There's only one way. We have to inflate it, ourselves. :(
Just pour an Ice Bucket Challenge for the poor who get ebola in Texas.
