[QUOTE="watdaflock?, post: 4396895, member: 53239"] [URL='https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/feb/28/michael-bloomberg/did-donald-trump-fire-pandemic-officials-defund-cd/']PolitiFact - Did Donald Trump fire pandemic officials, defund CDC?[/URL] Thankfully Congress has kept Trump from totally defunding the CDC. "The Trump administration’s initial proposals for the budgets for emerging a[URL='https://www.cdc.gov/budget/documents/fy2018/fy-2018-cdc-budget-overview.pdf']nd[/URL] zoonotic infectious diseases at CDC — a key player in the fight against coronavirus — have consistently been lower than what was spent the previous year. [B][SIZE=5]The administration proposed $61.7 million less in 2018 than 2017; $96.4 million less in 2019 than in 2018; $114.4 million less in 2020 than in 2019; and $85.3 million less in 2021 than 2020.[/SIZE][/B] However, Congress reshapes presidential recommendations as they see fit when they craft final spending bills. Every year since Trump has been president, lawmakers have passed bills — bills signed by Trump — that not only exceeded what Trump requested on emerging infections but also exceeded what had been spent the previous year."
