Wasn't the CDC budget cut drastically by the current administration? You reap what you sow.

The budget proposal included cuts to it, though, and some of the response teams that were in place in the government were cut.

And yet that's not what you insinuated. There were no cuts no matter how you characterize it-your source confirms that. Certainly no "reaping" what was "sowed".

You're responding to me, not the author of the 'reaping' comment.

I'm responding to both, the cuts you mention never took place so it's a bad faith accusation.

Maybe I'm just not reading this right, but the right column is all red. Doesn't red mean "smaller than last year"?

Well Congress is the ones who actually pass the budget so no?
