Obama cuts CDC as he takes on the social needs of Mexico, Central and South America.

Cruz’ fault, because of his one-day filibuster. /S

It’s always a question of “Timing, Timing, Timing” and “Location, Location, Location”.

Obama’s worst nightmare is a CDC that fails. Looks like not only is he getting his wish, he’s going to make sure that he gets his wish.

Handing the Republicans a great October Surprise campaign issue. Wonder if the GOP is smart enough to seize and run with it? Questionable with Boneless Boehner and Turkey Neck Mitchell in charge.

So... looks like they won’t have the funds necessary to address this whole Ebola thing.

Oh, well - we have Obama’s word that it won’t be a problem.

Good. Name one disease the CDC has prevented. Name one patient the CDC cured. The CDC is nothing but another unnecessary bloated bureaucracy that only exists for the purpose of furthering its own existence.

Of course. It is much better to spend all available tax revenues and then some creating a permanent dependent class to ensure Democrat voting blocs, than it is to actually do something to protect public health. Who cares if people die, as long as they keep voting Democrat?

Shut down all of the federal pork to local governments to allow a little more for the CDC. There’s no tourism anyway.

uh, boy. This “coincidence” has my radar antennae raising my tin foil hat about a foot off my head. They probably, maybe, didn’t have Africa in mind, but they sure knew about the immigrants and what is up with the kids dying or being paralyzed???

The meme has already gone out to blame Ted Cruz for “shutting down the government”.

Bring Out Your Dead

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...
