CDC to Claw Back $602m from Four Blue States

The CDC funds would have gone toward state and local health grants that the sinister Dummkopf Trumpf junta feels are too "woke."
A junta apparatchik at OMB bleated that the rescissions are punishing "states fraught with waste and mismanagement."

These rescinded funds include:

~$3 million to Colorado to address COVID-19 disparities among racial and ethnic minority groups
~$5.2 million to Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago for increasing HIV PrEP use among Black cisgender women
~$500,000 to the University of California for evaluating state-level laws to prevent sexual and intimate partner violence among gender and sexual minorities.

JAMA reports funding cuts to the CDC will lead to sicker Americans and a rise in deaths, particularly in areas like HIV prevention and sexually transmitted infections. These cuts will affect Republicans living in those Red States, something Dummkopf Trumpf obviously didn't consider, like truck drivers and police officers using the roads and highways. Moreover, the geriatric pedophilic draft-dodging oligarch did not consider that diseases and viruses do not discriminate between Republican or Democratic victims.

Later this month, Dummkopf Trumpf will be hosting the annual meeting of the National Governor's Association, but he is disinviting Democratic governors. Technically, that would not constitute the annual meeting of the NGA as this is a bipartisan organization.

In a country like the US without universal healthcare for all its residents like found in Israel, Canada, Germany, Taiwan, or the UK, these draconian cuts by the diabolical Trumpf junta will be costly and fatal for many, many Americans from both political parties.

...A growing economy that creates good, middle class jobs -- this must be the North Star that guides our efforts. Every day, we should ask ourselves three questions as a Nation: How do we attract more jobs to our shores? How do we equip our people with the skills they need to get those jobs? And how do we make sure that hard work leads to a decent living? This Budget seeks to answer each of these questions." -- President Barack Obama ...

So now, under the auspices of Pres Trump, the OMB serves Pres Trump and his daily-changing whims, and him only.

As opposed to the prior dictum of the OMB, to serve the people of the United States in a more strategic manner.
