This is to rebut allllll the libs who are screaming we’d have a vaccine by now were it not for those heartless Republicans. Governor Jindahl gets it.
Excellent letter/article by Gov Jindal. Thanks for the link. Should be a separate thread.
I am surprised Politico published this.
"Our Constitution states that the federal government “shall protect each of [the States] against Invasion”—
-a statement that should apply as much to infectious disease as to foreign powers.
So when that same government prioritizes funding for jungle gyms and bike paths
over steps to protect our nation from possible pandemics, citizens have every right to question the decisions that got us to this point.
"In her speech, Secretary Clinton said, “too often our health care debates are clouded by ideology, rather than illuminated by data.”
I couldn’t agree more. But in this case, the data show not that the CDC faced a lack of funding, but misplaced priorities
for that funding based on choices made by the Obama administration."
