Huge cuts at US health agencies

I suspect that Trump just came up with this idiotic policy to provide cover for him abandoning his last idiotic policy, which was building the Great Wall of Mexico to save America from the hordes of Mexicans invading and picking our fruits and vegetables. I'm kinda curious to see how soon he'll abandon this idiotic policy and see what his next idiotic policy will be.

 

This just in: CDC spending is less than $10 billion/yr.

Department of Defense spending is $820 billion a year.
Medicare spending is $839 billion.
Social Security spending is $1.35 trillion.

Math question for MAGA fans: which number is the smallest?

 

The sheer number of health programs being axed is STAGGERING.

This is not just about retribution for our COVID response or contempt for the Affordable Care Act ... it is about dissambling federal leadership of our common health response to EVERYTHING. Things like AIDS, asthma, miners' health, pediatric care, fertilization and reproductive health, blood disorders, mental health, public communications and RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH and so much more. All chopped in one fell swoop.

How does this make our population healthier? How can the states or private entities possibly pick up these programs?

Way to go people. Welcome to a dumber, sicker, poorer country. Folks with money and insurance companies will flourish, everyone else will struggle.

TRAGIC

 

I think we need to get rid of every illegal that has a felony on their record. Obviously cant get rid of 20+Million illegals. I think there needs to be a punishment for what they did(I'm not sure what that punishment would be but for sure not letting them ever be citizens is one I'd support). I have said steep cuts need to happen in defense, in fact I'd cut more from defense spending that other places first. Not sure what else you want me to say.

 

Hope you speak mandarin…
Man, what a terrible post.

 

Bet you’ve had all your Trump-cines.

 

I say we hack military to its roots. After all, we can always fight our ‘enemies’ with other countries’ armies.

 

You really have no idea what functions the CDC, NIH or FDA perform that affect people's health, am I right?

For you, it's all about vaccines vaccines vaccines. So tiresome.

 

I know that the three letter agencies, what with their auras; you left out the WHO, are pretty much subsidiaries of Big Pharma. But do keep up as I’m presently taking aim at the lucrative cancer industry.

 

Welp, some people will probably suffer and die. MAGA won't care.

A city responding to a lead crisis in schools reached out to the CDC for help. The agency’s lead experts were just fired

Sarcasm...look it up...sorry it didnt register...

 

People: “Shut up and drink your fluoride!”

Same people: “Eek! There’s lead in the water!”

 

I advise against the dewormer due to the really bad come-down.

 

Horse paste would have to kill millions for vaccines to have an honest competitor.

 

What a pathetic excuse for not trying. Easier said than actually trying. Fixed it for you.

 

By the way, that is the Defense Department funding that they acknowledge. The off-books budget for defense/intelligence agencies is likely 4-5x that number per year.
