Obama tried to cut Strategic PPE Stockpile every year for his first 6 years.

He even used up the stockpile and refused to replenish it. He actively tried to make America unprepared for an emergency.

What an anti-American fuckwit.

Obama administration repeatedly sought to cut PPE stockpile, but Biden team points to GOP-led 'budget squeeze'


In its fiscal 2011 budget, submitted in early 2010, the Obama administration explicitly sought a reduction in the SNS: "CDC requests $523,533,000 for the Strategic National Stockpile in FY 2011, a decrease of $72,216,000 below the FY 2010 Omnibus," the budget request reads.

The document went on to make clear that $68,515,000 would separately be transferred to the SNS from the fiscal 2009 appropriation for an H1N1-related fund, meaning that overall, the strategic stockpile would receive $592,048,000 -- a reduction of only a few million dollars from the previous year.

The Obama administration also sought a $47.572 million cut to the stockpile in fiscal 2013, a $38.190 million cut to the stockpile in fiscal 2014, and a smaller drop of at least several million dollars in fiscal 2015.

Indeed, the Obama administration's budget requests implicitly reference the Budget Control Act several times. The fiscal 2013 budget, for example, states that the "current fiscal climate necessitates scaling back" even though the SNS is a "key resource."

And, the fiscal 2015 budget states: "CDC has always sought to maximize the effectiveness of resources and investments, and is even more focused on doing so in the current fiscal environment."

This is the dumbest post yet in your short but prolific posting career.

Show me the video of doctors and nurse begging for PPE's under President Obama. Show me where medical staff were dying because they couldn't protect themselves.

Invoking the memory of Obama, who prevented an Ebola outbreak in the USA, while tens of thousands of Americans are dying because of Trump's incompetence is very unwise.

Um, just because he was a shitty leader who couldn't get anything done EVEN WHEN his party had control of both Houses of Congress doesn't absolve him of what he tried to do.

Hey Halfwit, show name where I made the claim they were begging for PPE under Obama.

Apparently, you are too fucking stupid to know what a stockpile is.

How long has Trump been Prez? Three years?

Democrats' Misleading Coronavirus Claims - FactCheck.org

Democrats have criticized President Donald Trump for his administration's response to the new coronavirus, making claims about cuts to public health programs and the silencing of government experts. But they haven’t always gotten their facts right.

www.factcheck.org

Sometimes Democrats accurately have said Trump “tried to cut back on the CDC,” as Sen. Amy Klobuchar said in the Feb. 25 debate in South Carolina. Former Vice President Joe Biden used harsher language in saying in a CNN town hall on Feb. 26 that Trump “tried to defund the CDC.” The president proposed reducing the CDC budget — some years by double-digit percentages — not completely defunding it.

Sorry sport. Another fail.

The cuts were for chronic diseases. Funding for EMERGENCIES was increased by $50 million. No cuts to the PPE stockpile.


The budget request would trim funding for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention by almost 16 percent. HHS officials said they want the CDC to focus on its core mission of preventing and controlling infectious diseases and on other emerging public health issues, such as opioid abuse.

Officials propose to take the money that would normally go to fund individual disease prevention activities and funnel it into a single block grant to states. The budget says chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke and diabetes have common risk factors, and thus consolidating funds “can help magnify the public health impact.”

Although the budget reduces overall funding for global health, from $571 million to $532 million in 2021, officials carved out an extra $50 million for global health security, which are measures aimed at disease detection and emergencies. That bump comes at the expense of international HIV/AIDS programs, which is being cut by about $58 million.

Did President Trump Cut the CDC Budget?

As the new coronavirus spread in February 2020, so did concerns about the United States' readiness to respond to the outbreak.
