Politicians Complaining About Response To Ebola Are The Most Ardent Budget Cutters.

You get sick of hearing these politicians demanding a strong response to Ebola when they cut the funding. And they are the most aggressive in pushing returning most federal authority to the states. That includes getting rid of CDC. They want small government or little government in an increasingly dangerous world. They also want to cut research funding and leave it to profit driven corporations.

Makes you wonder who has a screw loose.

of the immigration courts concerning the backlog of refugees after cutting the budgets and refusing additional funds to hire more immigration judges to address the backlog.

The same ones who complain that the USPS can't turn a profit after forcing it to stockpile enough cash for 75 years worth of pensions within 10 years.

The same ones who are now 'shocked' that the new service economy is producing stagnant wages for workers while executives are raking in piles of cash after they pushed 30 years worth of "trickle-down" on us.

The list goes on and on.
