The ad is laughable.

Let's look at reality
A 2% reduction in the increase in funding ≠ “less money.”
Poor spending habits = less money to spend on your One Job: “detecting and responding to infectious diseases and other public health threats”.

Consider the Prevention and Public Health Fund, a new series of annual mandatory appropriations created by Obamacare.
CDC received from this one fund $3 billion
6% —$180 million— was spent building epidemiology and laboratory capacity
the Commuuuunity Transformation grant program received $517.3 million spent on Nanny Programs pushing “good lighting,” bike paths and farmers’ markets in the inner cities.

[Jindal:] Make no mistake: These types of projects may represent worthwhile endeavors—when funded by states, localities or private charities. …
But the first priority of the Federal CDC is epidemiology. Looks like Obama over rode epidemiology in favor of bike paths.
and you're saying it was the republicans? ROFLMAO!

Yes, losing a vital government functionary like the CDC whose funding for epidemiology is diverted to bike paths because of libtard stupidity does suck.

As a side note, the CDC and NIH are two of the agencies that I actually think should have as much as they need funding-wise. With the US population being 319,000,000 and growing with a large influx of immigrants, and mostly in urban areas, it's vital that the CDC and NIH have what they need to prevent epidemics, study cause and effect of certain illnesses, so forth. The US is just built in such a way that any dangerous disease could become a massive problem.

[Mac-7]

Why would you want to make an anti- anybody attack ad at a time when Americans need to pull together?

Because there is no consensus on any issue.

[Codename Section]

I think there is consensus that none of us want ebola.

There is less consensus about how to deal with it.

Libs want to leave the border open and cross their fingers while conservatives want to limit travel from west Africa.

Neither the CDC or NIH had budget cuts.

"The CDC's budget today is 25% bigger than it was in 2008 and 188% bigger than in 2000. The NIH budget has been flat for the past few years, but at a level that's more than double what it was 14 years ago."


Here are a few research projects they do have money for.

Studying Male Prostitutes in Vietnam - (San Juan, Puerto Rico) $442,340

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) spent nearly $442,340 million to study the number of male prostitutes in Vietnam and their social setting. According to the project's abstract, the University of Puerto Rico examined "the impact of male sex work on the growing HIV epidemics in Hanoi and...

Fat Lesbians Got All the Ebola Dollars, But Blame the GOP



Democrats have rushed out of the gate with an attack ad against Republicans (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3D0DxjgPB0)

claiming if only we had spent more money, we would be able to solve the Ebola situation.




It’s a defensive ad that reeks of desperation. At a time when more and more Americans, including millennials, are concluding government just doesn’t work, it probably won’t be effective. And Republicans can respond in kind.

For example, instead of studying Ebola, the National Institutes of Health were studying (http://projectreporter.nih.gov/project_info_description.cfm?aid=8703150&icde=21539564) the propensity of lesbians to be fat.
Then there was the money for a study on wives who calm down quickly. (http://www.cnn.com/2013/12/17/politics/coburn-government-waste/)
And the Centers for Disease Control spent its budget on gun violence studies on order of the President (http://www.gunsandammo.com/politics/cdc-gun-research-backfires-on-obama/) as part of his agenda to curtail the second amendment.

The CDC also spent its money to survey what bus riders thought (http://www.cato.org/publications/commentary/nows-time-start-cutting-wasteful-government-programs) of HIV videos.
Hey, and let’s not forget all the money the CDC spent to convince people to stop smoking (http://www.wgme.com/news/features/waste-watch/stories/waste-watch-cdc-responds-antismoking-ad-campaign-criticism-41.shtml#.VDvDkYe3g20) and now we need tobacco to manufacture the drug to fight Ebola. Classic.



How much more money should these government agencies have?

[PolWatch]

I think there is consensus that none of us want ebola.

are you sure of that? there are some folks who will try & use anything to make political points...I see just as many people wanting to place blame as those who are interested in dealing with the problem.

[momsapplepie]

dealing with the problem should have been done a long time ago instead of allowing into our country.

But it's the republicans fault...


http://www.weeklystandard.com/articles/new-prohibitionists_738061.html

But as the state’s liquor privatization plan continued to wend its way through the legislature, a powerful and well-funded opponent emerged earlier this year—the federal Centers for Disease Control. The fact that federal tax dollars are being used to lobby for state regulations is problematic to begin with. Even more troubling is that the CDC’s public health warnings about privatizing liquor sales are knowingly based on junk science. The agency is also underwriting the forces of neo-prohibitionism by doling out grants from a $12.5 billion slush fund created by the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare.

Not shit like the above.
