Republicans Blocked Funding For Pandemic Response

[Synthaholic]

Sad that the context is left out. It's always "show them what we want them to see, but not the entirety."
This thread is a bunch of nothing.

If you believe context is left out, then provide it and fill in the blanks. Anything else is just you talking out your ass again.

Well, yeah.....
Congressional Republicans, led by Mitch McConnell in the Senate and House Speaker John Boehner, leveraged the debt ceiling — a limit on the government’s borrowing ability that had to be raised — to insist that the Obama administration accept federal spending curbs. The compromise, codified in the 2011 Budget Control Act, required a bipartisan “super committee” to find additional ways to reduce the deficit, or else it would trigger automatic across-the-board cuts known as “sequestration.”

How Tea Party Budget Battles Left the National Emergency Medical Stockpile Unprepared for Coronavirus

Fiscal restraints imposed by Republicans in Congress in the early years of the Obama administration left the U.S. less prepared to respond to the coronavirus pandemic today.

This wan't just a republican thing, it was both parties

One side said "we want to cut pandemic/CDC spending" It wasn't the Democrats.

The Israelis say that Trump‘s administration informed them about the virus in November. But Trump didn’t inform the Democrats, or even the Republicans in Congress.

Prove it! Prove that the Trump administration advised Israel in November of 2019 of the existence of a coming Pandemic.

You cannot because it did not happen.

Do you actually believe that your constant stream of lies serves you well? That they bring anyone over to your side? Long ago you squandered any credibility you might have had so what is your purpose?

Here ya go, dumbass!

US alerted Israel, NATO to disease outbreak in China in November — TV report

White House was reportedly not interested in the intel, but it was passed onto NATO, IDF; when it reached Israel's Health Ministry, 'nothing was done'

Just like refusing to fund security for Benghazi, Republicans refused to fund protective equipment for the next pandemic.

Obama administration asked for funding to prepare for future virus outbreaks. Republicans said no

Tea Party blocked hundreds of millions in funding, investigation finds

www.independent.co.uk

Barack Obama’s efforts to replenish America’s stockpile of protective equipment for healthcare workers were repeatedly blocked by Republican lawmakers, an investigation has found.

The investigation by ProPublica found requests for funding to purchase protective equipment and train medical staff to prepare for future outbreaks were denied by a Republican-controlled House of Representatives that was filled with Tea Party-affiliated politicians.

Your half truths are why you all
Can’t win elections

Did you also sleep through the 2018 midterms?

And nothing you posted is true......good job.

The CDC and NIH have more than enough money to stockpile those supplies...but they chose to study monkeys smoking, and frat boys getting drunk instead...

And again, hilary had more than enough money to supply protecton to the Bhengazi ambassador.....she chose not to.

Hey Journalists! 15 Ways NIH And CDC Wasted Taxpayer Money

Amidst the Ebola crisis, the government’s premier health agencies are burning their taxpayer funded budgets on wasteful programs faster than drunken monkeys. Based on a recent $3.2 million NIH study focused exclusively on getting monkeys drunk, that’s an analogy researchers should readily...

www.mrc.org

If NIH and CDC are still having trouble coming up with ways to fund their fight against Ebola, here is a list of 15 wasteful programs totaling $15,135,574,669.00 where they could have saved:

• Telling Taxpayers How to Eat ($15 billion) – Yes, that’s billion with a “b” in front. In a massive overstep of government power, Obamacare carved out $15 billion for Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to convince Americans to make “healthy” choices through “Community Transformation Grants” (CTG). The CTG program “supports efforts to modify behavior through anti-obesity campaigns, as well as anti-smoking and pro-sin tax regulations and legislation” at the state and local levels, according to the bipartisan Citizens Against Government Waste.
• Grant Money to China ($90 million) – NIH awarded more than $90 million to Chinese researchers. This included $2 million to develop a vaccine for a parasite disease common in China. The Traditional Values Coalition asked, “As our country heads to fiscal ruin, why are we giving millions in taxpayer dollars to Chinese science — which benefits China and its institutions — when they hold more than $1 trillion in American debt?”
• Duplicate Agricultural Programs ($22 million) – CDC spent $22 million on their Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing Program. The problem? This project was nearly identical to efforts already underway at the Department of Agriculture. CDC allotted $181,966 for developing a smart phone app for specialized farmers in Tennessee.
• “Why Are Lesbians Fat?” ($2.87 million) – That’s one question NIH has decided to research for the last four years, spending more than $2.87 million so far on the project. The ongoing study is meant to explain why “women of minority sexual orientation are disproportionately affected by the obesity epidemic,” operating under the claim that “three-quarters” of lesbians are obese. First funded in 2011, the study is slated to continue into 2016.
• Promoting HPV Vaccine for Young Girls ($544,188) – CDC provided $544,188 for a study on how to boost the number of young girls getting Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccinations in Los Angeles County. Although CDC says the benefits of the vaccine outweigh the risk, it counts 772 serious adverse side effects, including 32 deaths, among the millions of doses administered to young girls between June, 2006, and December, 2008. Parents have raised moral objections as to whether young girls should receive the vaccine, which covers four sexually transmitted diseases.
• Drunken Monkeys ($3.2 million) – NIH spent $3.2 million getting monkeys drunk just to see what would happen. The agency apparently has quite a fascination with excessive drinking, since it also “doled out money in recent years for research on binge-drinking mice, inebriated gamblers and pilots seeking the sensation of flying drunk,” according to The Washington Times.
• Bizarre Sex Studies ($1.5 million) – Congress voted to give NIH $1.5 million to spend on four obscure sex studies: “Mood Arousal and Sexual Risk Taking,” “Study on Sexual Habits of Older Men,” “Study on San Francisco’s Asian Prostitutes/Masseuses,” and “Study on American Indian Transgender Research.” NIH still received the requested funds from Congress, despite efforts by Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., in 2004 to defund the projects.
• Funds for Homosexual Activists in Public Schools ($1.4 million) – CDC gave The Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network (GLSEN), the homosexual activist group, $1.4 million to create “safe spaces” in public schools starting in 2011. The funding will be distributed during a five year period, as GLSEN works in 20 targeted school districts across the country. GLSEN Executive Director Eliza Byard claimed in 2011 that safe spaces “are vital to these students’ health, success in school and life prospects."
• Centers for ‘Gun Disease’ Prevention ($2.6 million) – CDC spent $2.6 million on studies that also seemed to favor greater gun control before when Congress defunded the research in 1999. Apparently Congress thought CDC had more important issues to study, like how to control actual diseases. For FY 2015, President Obama is asking Congress to grant CDC $22.2 million in new funding to study and prevent gun violence. Obama has made similar requests in previous years, though unsuccessfully.
• National Institutes of ‘Gun Control’ ($5 million) – Separately from the CDC, NIH also handed out nearly $5 million for research promoting gun control as of October, 2009, according to an article in The Washington Times. NIH pursued research on “gun related violence,” despite the issue being well outside the organization’s typical domain. Grants included “$642,561 in taxpayer funds to learn how inner-city teenagers whose friends, acquaintances and peers carry firearms and drink alcohol on street corners could show up in emergency rooms with gunshot wounds.”
• Cocaine Enhances Japanese Quail’s Sex Drive ($181,406) – No joke, this was a real study sponsored by NIH and slated to run through next year. Why quail? Because “quail provide a convenient and interesting alternative to standard laboratory rats and pigeons.”
• Empowering Women to Choose Contraception … in Jail ($279,789) – Liberals have long battled to expand women’s access to contraceptives. So in June 2012, NIH allocated $279,789 “to improve contraceptive use for incarcerated women” as they neared the end of their jail time. The program, which ran from June 1, 2008, through on May 31, 2014, was ultimately intended to reduce unexpected pregnancies and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) among recently incarcerated women.
• Bogus AIDS Experiments ($4.9 million) – Results of an HIV/AIDS vaccine study funded by NIH were faked by researcher at Iowa State University (ISU), calling into question $19 million in grants awarded to the same researcher over the years. “Inauthentic” samples throughout a period of four years made the vaccine reportedly appear far more effective than it actually was. Although NIH refused to pay ISU the final installment of the grant money, the university was allowed to keep more than $4.9 million after paying back the researcher’s salary – nearly three-quarters of the original grant.
• Sex Workers Spreading STDs ($675,786) – Ever wonder why sex workers spread HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)? The answer might seem obvious, but NIH is spending $675,786 to find out exactly how and why in an ongoing study. Researches are continuing the regular testing of 600 female sex workers on the U.S.-Mexico border for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and Chlamydia.
• Examining ‘Barriers to Correct Condom Use’ ($423,500) – It turns out “young, heterosexual adult men” weren’t using condoms as frequently as NIH would like. A study investigating the apparent problem in 2009 came with $423,500 price tag.

Note to leftists:

Refusing to give money to Democrat special interest groups is not "refusing to fund protective equipment for the next pandemic".

Name the special interest that you are referring to, then back it up with a link. Let’s see if you can find that URL in your ass.

Not worth my time. Democrats don't do anything that doesn't benefit themselves or their cronies. Your acceptance is neither required nor expected.

Yes, your time is devoted to talking out your ass and making allegations that you are incapable of backing up.

It's funny when you pretend you'd seriously consider opposing views.

I said funny, not credible.

No human endeavor is ever without risk

by opening up the economy, we will risk a statistical anomaly of a coupla deaths here and there in order to restore the strongest economy in the history of the world. its the right thing to do, my friends

Hopefully those couple happen in your house not mine

thats more than the Korean War, Vietnam War, Desert Storm, Afghanistan War, Iraq War COMBINED.

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

Why dont you find and post the bill so we all can see the unrelated pork Nancy and Chuckie had in there? You want because you just wanted an article that said " Bama dindo nuffin"

Why don't YOU read the bill for us and break out all of the items of "pork" you claim are contained in the Bill, and post them here to prove the bill is as bad as YOU claim it is. I'm certain that none of you mouth breathing dorks can even do that. You're just barking at Trump's talking points like always.

Didn't you whip yourselves into a frothing rage at the idea that Nancy Pelosi wasn't going to just rubber stamp McConnells free money to corporations? Why do Trumpists hate the idea of working Americans, who are suffering the most in this pandemic, are getting money.

Why do Republicans oppose raises for minimum wage workers, health insurance with no co-pays, and any program which gives the poor more cash? And yet corporations, who are awash in cash are lavished with tax breaks, and bailout programs? PEOPLE are starving. States and cities are being forced to lay off essential workers as their revenue sources dry up, and Trump engages is bullshit partisan politics trying to pit red states against blue states.

Either you are all Americans, in which case everyone chips in to get through together, or your nation continues to flush itself down the toilet with hate, bigotry and partisanship.

The minimum wage is 7.25 you flamming idiot. McDonalds, wal mart ect are all paying at least 10 an hour.
