President Obama proposed to cut the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) funding in his fiscal year 2012 budget proposal.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is currently blasting out ads accusing Republicans of voting to cut CDC’s Ebola-fighting capabilities in February 2011 by voting for a bill to cut $60 billion from the federal budget, including from the CDC, in anticipation of the fiscal year 2012 budget battle. The House passed the bill on Feb. 19, 2011, but the bill never passed the Senate.
But the Obama administration proposed to cut CDC funding, including for public health preparedness and response, in its very own budget proposal released the very same week as the House vote.

OK, Freepers, time for action.
It’s after 9:00 am in DC.
Call your reps in DC and tell them the flights from West Africa through any hub HAVE TO STOP!
The place to fight this disease is at its source, not here.
The “screening” process at our airports is a joke and ineffective. 150 people a day are coming here from West Africa—that is 4500 a month. Some will show a fever and yet may be carrying the virus.
Our healthcare system will shutdown if this continues.
We already have cases in Kansas, Nebraska, Massachusetts, Virginia, and Texas.
The first order of business of a government is to protect their citizens. And this government is failing to do so.
Make the calls.
The family you save may be your own.
Hmmmm . . . pre-meditated . . . nothing would surprise me.
The DC now has the story ...
Because, Obama !
Go to this link and compare the hazmat suits recommended by our worthless CDC versus another country’s hazmat suits.

Government is not needed to “save us” from disease.
The CDC should be eliminated.
But I guess all it takes is a few weeks of scaremongering and conservatives will scream for their government to become a police state, ordering who will be quarantined, setting up checkpoints, forcing “cures” on the citizenry (sheeple).
This whole ebola story has illustrated how gullible conservatives are.
No surprise at all. We’re used to it by now. Whatever is the righ thing to do, you can count on Obama to do the opposite, particularly if it harmful to the U.S.
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...
Staggering amount of money going towards HIV and AIDS.
He has to get money to support O’Care.
Why fund public health preparedness when you can study fat lesbians?
“Stopping ebola is hard”.

wasting money on frivolity is easy.
