    Oscar, with your $back will you please go for the mental health that you earlier requested for your mentioned illness. As I stated before, many clinics have free or reduced rates. You can pm me privately if you need help as I have assisted other's over the years who requested assistance.

      Oscars, Togor , et. al. The Obama administration repeatedly sought to cut hundreds of millions of dollars in funding to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) yearly budget requests show which seems to undercut your repeated attacks on Trump"s administration for its pandemic preparedness. The Associated Press has noted that claims such as yours "distort the facts" with fact checker.org pointing out that the CDC funding has actually increased under the current administration. In the fiscal 2013 budget the Obama administration sought a funding level of 5.9 billion a cut from the 2012 budget of 6.46 billion, that is 569million. In fiscal year 2015 they wanted a 414million dollar cut and in fiscal 2017 a 251 million dollar cut. Some of these cuts specifically took aim at the CDC's preparedness programs. Togor, you made light of the 35 million for the Kennedy Performing Arts Center in THe Democrats shameful pork barrel bill, what's 35 million when you are talking trillions right? Stupid.

        if one needed to buy some Tinfoil often, to make a nice peice of headgear,

        one may think that the reductions would play into the need for Obummercare (formerly known as Hillarycare) and make a case for implementation of a Gov't socialized medicine program,,,



        one may think that,




        may,

          So if everyone is mad at additional spending, what the hell is in there to garner universal consent from Republicans as well? Let's be honest, it's more pork than a Hawaiian pig roast.

          South Dakota has 40 cases—and gets $1.25 billion from the state relief fund—$30 million per case.

          New York has 35,000 cases—and the most we could get is $5.1 billion—​$155,000 per case.

          What's wrong with this math?

            pork is pork, and always has been bipartisan,


            it is a bit refreshing tho to see Nanz catch some heat, the media reporting anything bad on a D is a bit uncommon,

              Maybe it isn't just money but also competence that matters? God forbid!!

              Trump's administration declared a Covid-19 emergency, which kicked in emergency rules that froze out non-approved testing channels. THEN they rolled out a faulty test of their own creation, an action not yet explained. So for awhile there, NOBODY IS GETTING TESTED. AND we the public are still today in the dark as to a national strategy for how to beat this thing. Talk about getting taxpayer value when it matters most!!

              Obama era cuts would be made after the great recession with deficit hawks in Congress. Somehow the GOP demand to slash all domestic spending in that era never factors into the telling of those times. Back then this board would bitch that the Obama administration spent too much money on crap like the CDC and school meals.

                those supposedly tasty Michelle meals that were healthy and wholesome, and apparently tasted like crap and no one ate?

                  Everyone doesn't need to be tested! It's like when 9-1-1 rolled out, everyone found a reason to make a call. Were we a little slow to get started on this? Probably. It's new. It's hard to believe. It's still hard to believe. Trump is an optimist. This is America, we feel a certain invincibility. There's vid of about a dozen news people who in a week quickly changed there tune.

                    Melania left the garden in.

                    You know any teachers? In districts where free/reduced meals are served? I do. Hungry kids eat when you give them food. A quote that stuck with one: "I'm glad school is back. I get to eat." Rural, white district.

                        Locally, as children/adults often do, declined what was put forth as "healthy food" and the rejected "food" went into the trash.

                          I do,

                          and yes, some meals were eaten up and others had a lot of leftover that went in the trash,


                          not sure what Melania has to do with it,

                          btw, ever watch any of Jamie Oliver's shows
