McCain: Where's the ebola czar?
Posted: Oct 12, 2014
I think he should shuffle on over to the 3rd chamber of Congress and ask NRA Chairman Wayne LaPierre. Between them, maybe they can figure out how to fight ebola with those assault weapons they hug so tightly. The GOP is convinced LaPierre is imminently more qualified to choose a Surgeon General than the following organizations, just to name a few:

Doing more with less - The Republican Way
[ In Reply To ..]
The link below is to an article regarding the stagnant funding to NIH and developing vaccine/treatment for Ebola.
The Republicans are always ranting about "government waste" and doing "across the board" cutting. Well, we are seeing the results of this.
Republicans like to feed this to their minions, "you have to live on a budget, so should the government" but then they want to fight wars with soldiers that are not adequately funded when injured.
We are seeing what happens to families that "have to live within their budget"--right here on this board--we see MTs who depend of food stamps and charity to feed their families and keep a roof over their heads with their CEOs receiving millions in compensation.
Around here where I live, we complain about the quality of our roads and bridges, the size of the potholes, etc. However, the cost of petroleum products, health insurance and other costs have been rising every year. The same budget, or a budget that is continually cut, just is not going to cover the costs of the repairs that need to be made.
Do we, the average MTs and wage earner in the US have the ability to cough up more money for the needed taxes? No, you cannot get blood from a turnip. But the CEOs, 1%, and the corporations should not be taking advantage of the loop holes and pay their fair share towards public health, safety, and infrastructure.
Does it matter that you vote and who you vote for? Apparently the Republican Koch brothers do, or they would not be spending so much through organizations like "Americans for Prosperity" to get you to vote Republican and further their corporate agenda.
I wish I could recommend and kick this post to the top - sm

Other boards have this. I hate it when a good post gets pushed to the bottom.
GOP doesn't think ebola czar needs medical degree or experience - LOL

They're so paranoid about the AMA's Campaign for a Public Health Approach to Gun Violence, they've decided to quietly take MDs out of the running. Who better qualified to prioritize protecting their gun rights obsessions over infectious disease management than an 4-star general ebola czar with an BS in geology and MBA, or a former Secretary of Defense and CIA Director with a phD in Russian and Soviet History? After all, EVERYONE knows Colin Powell or Robert Gates would be a more suitable pick than Dr. Vivek Murthy to fill that void.
Why not get a border czar? - sm

Let everyone in and have certain lines set up where the illegals and sick can stand to get whatever they need for free at US taxpayer expense. That would include free housing, food and medical care. What a country!

CzarOct 18, 2014In 2009, Senator McCain complained that the Obama administration had "more czars that the Romanovs". It was a good zinger, and not altogether untrue.
