seeing as you have lack of evidence for this claim.

The Op still doesn't prove anything.
Ebola is dangerous, so much so that we have a program that helps countries at risk get ready to contain it when it breaks out. That's cheaper, safer, and way better than trying to deal with it when it gets here.
So naturally the Trump crowd wants to stop doing it.
As luck would have it, that same day, there was a new outbreak of Ebola in the Congo, the DRC.
"That timing couldn’t be worse.
“The entire global health community would agree that cutting funding is a bad idea,” Rebecca Katz, an associate professor and co-director of Georgetown University’s Center for Global Health Science and Security, told The Daily Beast. “An outbreak anywhere can be everywhere within a matter of days. Viruses do not respect political boundaries, which means we have a collective risk and a collective responsibility to prevent, detect, and respond.”
This is a wake up call, people. You don't have a president, what you have is Russian Roulette. Which is more than a little ironic, all things considered.

That money is there so we can deal with crisis quickly.
You quoted that in your previous post, but didn't understand it.
And if needed in the future, that money can be put back into the pot just as quickly.
Not on this planet.
Plagues don't need your help.

Neither does making assertions without a thing to back them up...
Project much?
Why is it guys on the Right can't get within an AU of reality? When you have an emergency, you don't want to wait months or years for Congress to actually do something.
The program already exists, it's funded. The person that wants change (you) needs to make the case that it's a good idea.
Problem is, the CDC has some of the best scientists in the world. They worked up a good program. With a plague like Ebola, you need to move fast, and this program does.
What you are proposing is nuts.
Because life isn't a bake sale selling pot brownies.
Though your posts are. (To comply with the 'strict accuracy' rule it must be noted that your attempt to make the President of the United States personally responsible for every event in Africa is half baked).
