The point is, the money is minuscule for the benefits that poison control centers provide, so going after them is just punitive and stupid.

If the GOP were serious about actual budget cuts, they’d give the military branches free reign over their budgets and allow the Joint Chiefs to kill every obsolete weapons system and bloated defense contract that doesn’t do anything but waste valuable resources. Or they’d go after farm and oil subsidies to reform them.

Going after small number programs like poison control is just idiocy and grandstanding for no good reason.
