re: #271 Aceofwhat?

What would be confusing about that? If I had heard that Obama was cutting $100,000,000, I’d have been just as concerned. I’m glad that it appears that cut got cut, since the CDC 2011 budget is a slight increase over 2010, and the particular program IDSA says was targeted shows a small increase as well.

I’m pointing out that the reason this may have gotten such attention is that this cut represents a portion of the larger, three-quarters-of-a-billion set of cuts, whereas the IDSA article says Obama’s total cuts to the CDC were a little over a hundred million. Another way to put it is the amount the GOP wants to cut from this program alone is larger than the entire amount Obama wanted to cut from the CDC budget.
