The party line is to blame "cuts to the CDC budget," even though the CDC got $400 million more than they requested in this year's so-called budget.
But facts won't get in the way of Dem propaganda.
The Dem propaganda is deceptive on many levels.
First, the CDC cuts were due to the sequester arrangement that was first proposed by the Obama Administration.
Second, the Obama Admin CDC could prioritize programs, and obviously judged that school lunches, salt, trans-fat, second-hand smoke, and AIDS were more mission-critical than lethal infectious diseases.
I have very little respect for the GOP, but Obama owns the Ebola outbreak to the extent that it was caused by CDC inaction. The elites of both parties own it to the extent that it was caused by the failure to implement travel restrictions on residents of the affected countries in West Africa.
The counter to that is how they spent the money they did get, much was wasted on things that have nothing to do with disease.
