under oath that Ebola poses no risk to Americans.

So now the federal health bureaucrats in charge of controlling diseases and pandemics want more money to do their jobs. Hmph. Maybe if they hadn't been so busy squandering their massive government subsidies on everything but their core mission, we taxpayers might actually feel a twinge of sympathy.
At $7 billion, the Centers for Disease Control 2014 budget is nearly 200 percent bigger now than it was in 2000. Those evil, stingy Republicans actually approved CDC funding increases in January larger than what President Obama requested.
What are we getting for this ever-increasing amount of money? Answer: A power-hungry busybody brigade of politicized blame-mongers.
Money, money, it's always the money. Yet, while Ebola and enterovirus D68 wreak havoc on our health system, the CDC has been busying itself with an ever-widening array of non-disease control campaigns, like these recent crusades:

It’s the Center for Disease Redistribution now.
They just need punctuation.
The Center for Disease. Control?
That’s some nice facility they built with “nap rooms” Yoga stations..quiet rooms etc.
Centers for Disease CREATION!!…
THEY ARE the disease and created all of this crap!
The incredibly intelligent Dr. Freiden IS John Wayne Gacy
I’ll bet they have a well funded muslim outreach program though!
Why yes they do http://pamelageller.com/2011/05/cdcs-warns-of-zombie-apocalypse-while-harassing-counter-jihad-bloggers.html/#comments
Color me totally not surprised.

Thanks for the ping!
Of course.
Well, so much for all the Hollywood Movies portraying the CDC as semi competent.
Another Liberal fantasy comes crashing down.

–Mandatory motorcycle helmet laws. CDC Director Dr. Thomas Frieden appoints a 15-member “Community Preventive Services Task Force” to promote pet Nanny State projects. An obscure Obamacare rule — Section 4003(b)(1) — stealthily increased the task force’s authority to study “any policies, programs, processes or activities designed to affect or otherwise affecting health at the population level.” Last year, the meddling panel extended the agency’s reach into transportation safety with a call to impose a federal universal motorcycle helmet law on the country. Is riding a Harley a disease? Why is this the CDC’s business?
–Video games and TV violence. At Obama’s behest, in the wake of high-profile school shootings, the CDC scored $10 million last year to study violent video games and media images, as well as to assess “existing strategies for preventing gun violence and identifying the most pressing research questions, with the greatest potential public health impact.” Whatever that means. Why is this the CDC’s business?
–Playground equipment. The CDC’s “Injury Centers” (Did you know there are 13 of them?) have crafted a “national action plan” and funded countless studies to prevent boo-boos and accidents on the nation’s playgrounds. Apparently, there aren’t enough teachers, parents, local school districts, and county and state regulators to police the slides and seesaws. Why is this the CDC’s business?
–“Social norming” in the schools. The CDC has funded studies and campaigns “promoting positive community norms” and “safe, stable, nurturing relationships (SSNRs)” in homes and schools. It’s the mother of all government values clarifications programs. So bad attitudes are now a disease. Again, I ask: Why is this the CDC’s business?
After every public health disaster, CDC bureaucrats play the money card while expanding their regulatory and research reach into anti-gun screeds, anti-smoking propaganda, anti-bullying lessons, gender inequity studies and unlimited behavior modification programs that treat individual vices — personal lifestyle choices — as germs to be eradicated.
Here’s a reminder of what the CDC does with money that’s supposed to go.

And you didn’t even mention the money they wasted doing junk science on firearms.
You’re Welcome, Alamo-Girl!
Do they have a SWAT team too?
Har-har! I’m guessing they purchased their gub’mint shares of ammo to keep the prices up for us peasants.
