First of all, Jindal is trying to bamboozle you here. If you read this hastily, you might think that the majority of the CDC's entire budget goes to this awful, horrible Obamacare program. But Jindal's talking about one portion of what the CDC receives annually -- $517.3 million over the past five years, or about $100 million a year. The CDC has a budget of $6.85 billion (which still reflects budget cuts from the sequester). The money spent on the community transformation grant program is a small slice of the CDC's total budget.
Second, it's not an Obama-era innovation for the CDC to be focused on trying to get people to live healthier lives in order to reduce the incidence of chronic diseases. Long before Barack Obama even entered politics, the CDC had a National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion. Here are doctors from the National Centercontributing to a 1993 report titled Measuring the Health Behavior of Adolescents: The Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System. Here's a 1999 CDC report from the National Center titled "Physical Activity and Health," which encourages people to exercise. Here's a 2002 report -- yes, it was completed during the Bush presidency, after 9/11 -- on the effects of secondhand smoke, with contributions from the National Center.
So there's nothing new about the CDC paying attention to health problems that aren't spread by scary viruses.
Bullshit.
There have been no cuts. Everyone's budget has increased year by year.
What a fucking bunch of leftist bullshit crap.

Why not run a positive campaign? I am sick to death of negativity regardless of source.
As I just got finished lecturing elektra about spewing that bullshit, now its a liberal. Since when do political parties cause disease? If anything you should blame Obama for ditching the CDC's Ebola Protocol.
Any lives lost will be on his shoulders.

Either way, people should stop politicizing this. No political party is responsible for causing Ebola.
