Cash certainly would help but so would competent management which the CDC hasn't had in 15 years. The whole place with few exceptions is just a wasteland for bureaucratic finger pointing. They love their statisticians and record keeping but have lost any ability to provide competent analysis.

They got into a pout in the early 80's when all of the headlines went to NIH and Dr. Faucci and they've never been forced to wipe the egg off their face. They should bring in one of the military chiefs and let him kick ass for a couple of years...his brief would be to obtain 1 billion in funding for every 100 'section chiefs' he fires and 5 billion for infecting them all with whatever germ they can't fathom.
