Agreed! It’s a nasty disease and has terrible potential to cause worldwide disruption. Trump wants to cut funding for it right now too.....Personally, I'm actually impressed at how effective they've been at stopping this from reaching other areas. In today's world, patient zero is just a plane ride away.
I believe it was funding for WHO, or it was some kind of direct funding to help with the costs of trying to treat the epidemic and keep it contained.Haven't heard anything about that. Guess it would depend on the specifics. I certainly don't know why my tax dollars would be spent flying patients from Africa HERE to be treated on our dime....for example. But if we're talking cutting funding for the CDC, that's a different matter.

It would cancel unspent money from previous years’ children’s health insurance and would have no effect on current programs, the official said. Other unspent funds that would be canceled include $4.3 billion for a vehicle technology program and funds for Obamacare, the 2015 Ebola outbreak and railroad benefits.
