Trump budget chief holds firm on CDC cuts amid virus outbreak

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Russ Vought, the acting director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, on Tuesday doubled down on proposed cuts to health services and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), despite the coronavirus outbreak.

Vought came under intense questioning from Rep. Matt Cartwright (D-Pa.) at a hearing about President Trump’s 2021 budget request. It proposed cutting Health and Human Services funding by $9.5 billion, including a 15 percent cut of $1.2 billion to the CDC and a $35 million decrease to the Infectious Diseases Rapid Response Reserve Fund's annual contribution.

“The question I have is, are we prepared to fight pandemics if we cut from programs that are specifically designed to prepare for them, including the coronavirus?” Cartwright asked.

Vought responded by saying Trump signed into law the $8.3 billion emergency supplemental package Congress approved last week.

2. Genocide

By incopentance by design ,then cut all the funding, and lie...

Trying to get rid of "useless eaters"
The poor,disabled,non whites,non christians, gblt, transgendered,
Left wing liberals. Once they kill the people they don't like they will create serfdom for themselves those disgusting wanna be kings.

Can pretend that it's not genocide,blame it on the virus...
When it's incompetence by design and greed.
