LOL! Blame everything on not enough money, which is actually true, I suppose. If there were enough money, we'd probably have interstellar travel, have cured cancer and AIDS, and have created artificial intelligence. But there just isn't enough money for all these miracles, so we need to work within the budget we have.

College tuition could be free if we fully funded it from the government. That doesn't mean we should!

Would be free to some... a burden for those who had to pay for the "free" bennie.

Even "free K-12" education isn't free. Property owners pay TONS AND TONS of taxes for the "free" public education (plus lavish and excessive perks for unionized school teachers, of course.)

Nah, no one has to pay, Scat! Come on now...don't you understand? We could have total utopia - just issue debt to cover the bills! It's not like you'll be here or I will to care when it comes due! Let's live off the world while we still can, right?

Say it with me: "my world now! my world now!"

Jindal: CDC Spending Millions on Streetlights While Ebola Rages

"In the midst of the Ebola crisis, the Obama administration has no business spending hundreds of millions of dollars for the Centers for Disease Control to fund "non-essential" programs that give grants for things like improving sidewalks and street lighting, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal writes in an opinion piece for Politico.

While the Centers, or CDC, is well funded, much of the money has been diverted from programs to fight infectious diseases and directed to "programs far afield from the CDC's original purpose," such as the Prevention and Public Health Fund...

....This fund receives annual mandatory appropriations created by Obamacare, according to Jindal, who notes that despite nearly $3 billion the CDC has received from the fund over the past five years, just 6 percent went toward building epidemiology and lab capacity.

"Especially given the agency's postwar roots as the Communicable Disease Center, one would think that 'detecting and responding to infectious diseases and other public health threats' warrants a larger funding commitment," Jindal writes.

He points out that the community transformation grant program received three times as much money as what was appropriated to fight infectious disease..."

..."In this case, the data show not that the CDC faced a lack of funding, but misplaced priorities for that funding based on choices made by the Obama administration," he writes...

Well according to Spike, ebola is not that big a deal and republicans are just blowing it up for political reasons, but at the same time republicans are responsible for not having enough money to find a cure for this deadly threat.

Wonder which it is, because the two contentions do seem mutually exclusive.

Meantime, NIH has blown hundreds of millions of precious research dollars on the search for the elusive gay gene. CDC is focused laser-like on...gun ownership.

They quarantined the african guy's apartment, they quarantined the hospital, they quarantined the nurse, they quarantined the police and EMTs, all to protect against the spread of the disease. Yet the CDC says quarantining travel from african hot spots of infection is not only useless but actually counterproductive. WTF?

George Bush was solely responsible for hurricane katrina and the suffering that ensued when incompetent local officials bungled the evacuation. He was eviscerated by the media for not being on the scene.

Meanwhile obama plays golf and goes to fundraisers as his incompetent officials expose us to more infections. The media attack republicans for supposed fear mongering.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has awarded $1.5 million to study biological and social factors for why “three-quarters” of lesbians are obese and why gay males are not, calling it an issue of “high public-health significance."

LOL! Exactly. One need only look at the vast $$s wasted in the government to determine that there is plenty of money if spent wisely.

You got it rough.
