re: #261 Obdicut

The CDC budget shows an increase, not a decrease. I don’t know where IDSA got their number from.

They may be talking about the reduction in $86.9 million in specific spending on various infectious diseases, but all of those have reasons for it. It’s in the CDC budget, which I’ve linked already. Here it is again.

My link discussed a budget proposal. Clearly, it was not the budget that ended up being passed. However, I don’t remember a similar ruckus around this time last year. Again, i may be missing something, but if I am not, it appears that somewhere between a 100million cut and a 156million cut there is an invisible line which transforms one into a corporatist henchperson.
