Most Americans have long believed — in embarrassing ignorance — that the share of the U.S. federal budget spent on foreign aid is an order of magnitude higher than what we actually spend abroad. Years ago, this mistaken view was amplified from the far right by the John Birch Society. Today, it is the Tea Party movement complaining that joblessness and poverty in the United States result directly from the lamentable fact that “President Barack Obama keeps sending our money overseas.”
Actually, spending on foreign assistance has remained remarkably steady for many years in Washington, at around 1 percent, a minuscule level compared with what other developed nations spend to improve living standards in the developing world. But perhaps that is because those other countries have figured out what we may soon learn from the latest Ebola outbreak: Disease vectors do not respect national or political boundaries — and the lack of medical infrastructure in one country can ultimately threaten all countries.

Science funding=AGW propaganda funding.
Never let a crisis go to waste.
The progressives/socialists/communists allowed Ebola to spread....
How right you are. Progressives/socialists/communists also made it cost-prohibitive to send aid to developing countries.
After all, they’re already here and our out-of-control fedzilla is handing out foreign aid lollipops at the border...wrapped in a pretty bow and a nice comfy bed.
I thought that this old red was dead. He definitely is brain-dead and has been for decades.
Perhaps he personifies the old saying:
Old reds never die, they just smell that way.
Why can’t liberal regressives just do what they want, only spending their own money. THey could shut everyone up by curing Ebola with THEIR own money.
Yeah, and the idiots at the CDC who manage to leave vials of a deadly, eradicated, disease lying around, and transport people with Ebola into the country. Seriously, the last “C” in CDC cannot mean “control”.
E.B.O.L.A. - Extermination Born Of Leftist Agendas?
But by all means, keep the borders unprotected and keep bringing all kinds of illegals and distribute them nation wide without so much as wiping their nose. Then make fun of people who point out "This is a risk for Ebola". Or for that matter treat it like AIDs and make it a celebrity cause while completely discarding the pathology of the disease, avoid discussing the true cause and accuse those who knowingly state the risk of discrimination, permitting it to spread into unafflicted populations who would never have engaged in the original method of transmission.
Just like a democrat...
Joe Conason...Dead Eyes....Dead Soul.......pathetic.
Massive stupid.
All the way to the bone...

MEMORIES FROM THE CLINTON TIMES:
I had inside info and knew about this a month ago but promised my source not to divulge it. I proudly once had Conason screaming at me at the top of his lungs during the following exchange on the Gloria Allred Show.
GLORIA: Okay, on the line now we have Doug from Upland.
CONASON: Is this the Doug from Upland from Free Republic?
DFU: Yes, is this the famous Clinton buttboy Joe Conason?
Conasan went ballistic and wanted Gloria to hang up on me. She let us go at it. Conason was challenged about the rape of Juanita Broaddrick and just did not want to hear it. Yes, Joe Consason, you still have DNA dripping down your chin.

Interesting that he knew who you were on Free Republic, back in the day.
The Clinton media butt boys like Conason and Gene "Lyin'" Lyons were watching us like hawks, and they didn't like what they saw one bit.
Good on ya, DFU.
