GOP CONGRESSMAN MAKES CDC DIRECTOR SQUIRM AFTER CONFRONTING HIM ON CHILDREN’S VACCINE CUTS: ‘LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT…’

Representative Andy Harris (R-MD) is winning praise for tackling the director of the CDC over claims that sequestration will result in a drastic cut to children’s vaccinations in the state, RightScoop calling it a ”fantastic obliteration” and a “must watch.”

A medical doctor himself, Harris spoke with no hesitation when he began by asking whether the CDC had worked with the White House in crafting a memo blaming Republicans for the cut:

“Dr. Frieden, I have a great deal of concern about a document that my office got from the White House that talked about the cuts that were going to occur due to Republicans, affecting children… It says in Maryland about 2,050 fewer children will receive vaccines due to reduced funding for vaccinations of about $140,000. Did the CDC assist the White House in preparing that estimate?”

The sequester is just the tip of the iceburg. Governmkent spending should be cut by about 40% to get close to reality.
Cut it 40% and the only ones that will notice anything are the fatcats in Washigton like that lying doctor and Obama.

Obama is not into "Across The Board" cuts! Obama is targeting the poor, the children, the elderly, and the weak and doubling down on cutting their programs, just so he can point at the evil republican monsters that made him do it.

This is so clear it's pathetic. Send a drone to the White House, please!

More of the directive to make it as bad as the administration said it would be.
