As I’m sure you know, former White House Chief of Staff and now Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel once quipped, “never let a good crisis go to waste.” And you don’t get a much better crisis than Ebola. The progressive socialists of the Democrat Party are milking it for all its worth, as they see their hopes sinking for the midterm elections.
As reported by The Huffington Post “As the federal government frantically works to combat the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, and as it responds to a second diagnosis of the disease at home, one of the country’s top health officials says a vaccine likely would have already been discovered were it not for budget cuts. Dr. Francis Collins, the head of the National Institutes of Health, said that a decade of stagnant spending has “slowed down” research on all items, including vaccinations for infectious diseases.”

For the same reason that the 81 year old got a sex change operation in England
and others can’t get life saving hip replacements.
BECAUSE THE LEFT IS PERVERSE.
The Affordable Care Act cut the CDC budget.
Yep.. Democrats passed a law that moved money from the CDC to ObamaCare.
Whatever those budgets are, I'll bet they pale in comparison to how much money is spent on Preezy Obola criss-crossing the country attending DemocRAT fundraisers.
DIMocRATs are chronic liars and deceivers. They hate you...if you are free.
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
Still maintaining the policy of poor allocation of resources, primarily so later on they can blame the holders of the purse of being “stingy” and “heartless”.
Like an adolescent who squanders the week’s allowance on clothing accessories, and has no lunch money.
Some 95% of the personal woe in this world is self-induced.
Most of the remaining 5% is because of getting in the way of somebody else’s temper tantrum.
BIG GOVERNMENT IS CRONY SOCIALISM
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

The NIH also somehow found $3 million to study fat lesbians. That whole line of “budget cuts” is crap.
this is the FIRST article I have read since the launch of the ebola propaganda that forthrightly connected the ELECTION with crisis potential of such fear mongering.
My Hat is off To Allen B. West!
Ha....they gave it to the Dallas Baptist Church Charity.
$190 Million to set up offices and housing in 6 cities to house illegal immigrant children.
$50 Million to purchase a hotel complex in Dallas with 600 beds:
and Obama and Dallas Judge Jenkins yucking it up at the signing ceremony
Waiting for the GOP to smack down the dims with this.....crickets.
I just bet they studied the little prostitutes
Example: Republicans want to starve children. No, we want to eliminate Common Core, and stop spending on less important things, like your programs for sexual diversity/deviancy in schools.
When the debt ceiling crisis came up, what was it? "We may have to cut Social Security payments, police and fire protection." Did anyone think of calling them out on the garbage that got funded, like the mating habits of the snail darter? Or the Solyndra investment to nowhere?
The DEMOCRATIC Senate, under DICTATOR HARRY REED, who submits only bills that HE APPROVES
Which is why the Government has to approve CONTINUEING RESOLUTIONS for budgeted agencies to keep governement running.
If the House doesn't pass the CONTINUEING RESOLUTIONS, HARRY goes to the Lame Stream media, saying the REPUBLICANS are shutting down the government.
At the same time, president Obama spends 60 MILLION DOLLARS on three VACATIONS for himself and family.
INCIDENTLY, when was the last time a FED. GOVT. budget got passed ?
Ping.
Examining funding and expenditures of the CDC as a talking point by the Leftists torpedoes their political position and further demonstrates their incompetence.
Hopefully these multilayered demonstrations of incompetence will translate into a defeat of the incompetents, but I have my doubts.
Lawmakers in Washington are calling on the National Institutes of Health to explain why millions of taxpayer dollars are being spent on seemingly ridiculous research projects, including:
— how dragon boating can help cancer survivors;
— how canoes can help cultural identity;
— how snorting cocaine creates anxiety.
