AP Fact Checks Bloomberg, Biden Lies About CDC "Cuts"

"The "fact checkers" at the Associated Press almost religiously stick to checking the claims of Donald Trump. But they drew widespread attention on Thursday for checking Joe Biden and Michael Bloomberg on the U.S. government's coronavirus readiness.

AP's Lauran Neergaard and Calvin Woodward began:

Democratic presidential contenders are describing the federal infectious-disease bureaucracy as rudderless and ill-prepared for the coronavirus threat because of budget cuts and ham-handed leadership by President Donald Trump. That’s a distorted picture.
At the CBS debate, Bloomberg claimed “There’s nobody here to figure out what the hell we should be doing. And he’s defunded — he’s defunded Centers for Disease Control, CDC, so we don’t have the organization we need. This is a very serious thing.”

Biden made the usual Obama comparisons: "“We increased the budget of the CDC. We increased the NIH budget. ... He’s wiped all that out. ... He cut the funding for the entire effort.”

AP rebutted:

They’re both wrong to say the agencies have seen their money cut. Bloomberg is repeating the false allegation in a new ad that states the U.S. is unprepared for the virus because of “reckless cuts” to the CDC. Trump’s budgets have proposed cuts to public health, only to be overruled by Congress, where there’s strong bipartisan support for agencies such as the CDC and NIH. Instead, financing has increased.
Indeed, the money that government disease detectives first tapped to fight the latest outbreak was a congressional fund created for health emergencies."

You are pathetic.

Even your fact checking says that "Trump’s budgets have proposed cuts to public health, only to be overruled by Congress, " in other words Trump has done everything he could to cut it only to be possibly thwarted by congress.

You are pathetic.

So the people who say “Trump has cut the CDC budget dangerously low”... are telling the truth or lying??

A proposal is not a fact.
Point number two:
When a Democrat says spending is being cut:

This is what DEMOCRATS CALL A "CUT". For instance:

1. The Democrats want to INCREASE SPENDING BY 15%.

2. Republicans want to tie any spending increase to the rate of inflation, say perhaps 5%, in an effort to bring government spending under control and responsibly balance the budget.

3. That 10% difference in a spending INCREASE is what Democrats label a "Cut".

4. Obviously current spending isn't being cut at all, and the Democrats KNOW that. They also know that YOU do not, so they can call it a cut and scare you into voting for them because you are uninformed.

NOTE: the figures USED IN THIS EXAMPLE ARE HYPOTHETICAL.THIS IS MERELY AN EXPLANATION OF HOW LIBERALS USE PROPAGANDA TO LIE TO UNINFORMED VOTERS.

A spending "cut" is never a decrease in current spending. Never.
Bloomberg and Biden both lied and the AP called them on it. That's the facts.

How did you miss this West?

"In addition, the budget cuts proposed by Trump had absolutely nothing to do with Coronavirus prevention preparedness, and were related to Ebola virus response, which was no longer needed at such high levels because the threat from the virus in the US has faded. "

Wow! What a difference truth makes!

The Democrats have nothing to offer the American people but lies and hate.

"Bloomberg is repeating the false allegation.."
As in, "lying".

"..the U.S. is unprepared for the virus because of “reckless cuts” to the CDC."
LIE.

"Trump’s budgets have proposed cuts to public health, only to be overruled by Congress"
Meaning there were no cuts.

"Instead, financing has increased."
Wait...……...WHAT?!?!?!? "INCREASED"?

That is NOTHING LIKE all the sh it dems/libs are vomiting 24/7....

Who could ever have imagined?
