re: #270 prononymous

Yeah, I agree that a $100 million cut is worthy of mention. But I’d also say that we are just arguing over degrees now. A $100 million cut is worthy of mention but a $56 million cut isn’t? If we just agree that cutting an infectious disease program is bad then we could look for ways to keep it while still slimming the budget.

Not sure I want to do that. The money had not been spent. Right now, I generally favor unused appropriations being canceled and the money not borrowed or else used to pay off debt.
