Democrats caught in another Lie.. CDC got MORE money from Republicans. Obama wanted to cut budget.

[OriginalShroom]

Democrats have been running an ad, "Republicans Kill", in which they blame the Ebola crisis on Republicans for cutting CDC funding.

It's a lie. Obama actually was the one who wanted to cut the CDC budget by $270 Million.

CDC wins in budget deal

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will see an 8.2 percent budget increase for fiscal 2014, thanks to a $1.1 trillion spending bill announced by Congress Jan. 13.

This influx of cash will raise the CDC budget to $6.9 billion, which is $567 million more than it received in 2013. This is more than the agency anticipated, because the president's fiscal year 2014 budget request for it was just $6.6 billion -- a decrease of $270 million from fiscal 2012.
Of the $6.9 billion, $1.3 billion was allocated to protect the United States from foreign and domestic threats, both intentional and naturally occurring. $255 million will go to support bio-defense efforts, and $160 million will be set aside for states to address their most pressing public health needs. The CDC will get $30 million for Advanced Molecular Detection (AMD), which will help identify potential disease outbreaks earlier and more accurately.

Yet once again.. Democrats are caught red handed lying.
