Ted Lieu: Dow is plummeting due to coronavirus, so why is Trump proposing deep cuts to the CDC?
Even as he crows (i.e., lies) about the “greatest economy in the history of our country,” Trump is proposing drastic cuts to the Centers for Disease Control’s budget — a 16% haircut, to be exact. He also wants to reduce the Department of Health and Human Services’ budget by a whopping 10% and lower our contribution to the World Health Organization by $65 million, or 40%. That’s on top of a proposed 7% cut to the National Institutes of Health’s budget.
Why?
Is it too simple to say it’s because his brain is more McRib sauce than brain at this point? Yes, the man who literally thinks exercise is bad for you is determining our future health in myriad ways.
