BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: "Republican Cuts Kill."  
The Huffington Post picks it up. That first story was Mediaite.  The Huffington Post: "Ebola Vaccine Would Likely Have Been Found By Now If Not For Budget Cuts," according to the NIH Director.  So now the Drive-Bys and the rest of the Democrat Party are blaming Ebola on the cuts that took place in the sequester.  The Democrats are even running a campaign ad that I mentioned called "Republican Cuts Kill."  What good does it do to remind anybody the sequester was Obama's idea?  What good does it do to remind anybody Obama demanded the sequester?
Obama thought that he was pigeonholing the Republicans.  He thought by demanding the sequester, which meant in the Republican view defense department cuts, that they'd never go for it.  It was Obama's idea to do the sequester and he thought he had a winning hand by agreeing that there would be Medicare, whatever, some social welfare cuts in exchange for Medicare cuts.  Republicans will never go for cutting the defense budget.  But they did it and so the sequester was Obama's idea.  Obama refused to allow any changes to sequester cuts. 
But the truth is the NIH director here is not even talking about sequester cuts.  He's talking about a decrease in spending over the last 10 years, but there hasn't been. The truth of the matter, you want the numbers?  The CDC actually had their budget triple from 2001 to 2010 and what did they do with the money? What do you think?

RUSH:  Every voice that you heard using the word "cut" was a Republican.  Now remember, this is a video commercial so the pictures of all those Republicans were on this ad and everybody objecting was, for example, Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health or any other number of official-looking Democrats, but it was all "cut, cut, cut." 
Bobby Jindal has written a piece that's out just yesterday, "The Facts About Ebola Funding."
What difference does it make, though?  The ad is out there.  We can give you the truth of the matter like we've given you the truth of everything over 25 years and the low-information crowd is still going to believe what they see.  The fact is it's all lies.  There have not been any cuts.
"In recent years, the CDC has received significant amounts of funding."  Everybody knows there isn't anything being cut in this government!  "Unfortunately, however, many of those funds have been diverted away from programs that can fight infectious diseases, and toward programs far afield from the CDC’s original purpose.  Consider the Prevention and Public Health Fund, a new series of annual mandatory appropriations created by Obamacare.
"Over the past five years, the CDC has received just under $3 billion in transfers from the fund. Yet only 6 percent -- $180 million -- of that $3 billion went toward building epidemiology and laboratory capacity. Especially given the agency’s postwar roots as the Communicable Disease Center, one would think that 'detecting and responding to infectious diseases and other public health threats' warrants a larger funding commitment.  Instead, the Obama administration has focused the CDC on other priorities."
They're doing community outreach.  They're doing voter registration and they're doing community organizing things with these budget increases that they're getting.  They've been politicized.

RUSH: This nurse in Dallas, the second known Ebola patient or case in the United States, and I think the first case actually transmitted in the US, they're all panicking, "What happened?  We're in charge now.  This shouldn't happen."  And ladies and gentlemen, please don't automatically reject that as exaggeration.  I really have no desire for anybody to be confused here. 
Sometimes I do parody and satire, but I'm really serious when I tell you that the mindset of many liberals is just their presence alone means the difference. Their presence alone, you don't have to do anything but show up, means change.  Obama's presence was going to cause terrorists to not be mean and Obama's presence was going to make the world love us.  Obama's presence was going to stop global warming and the way it happens is the inherent decency, the inherent goodness and the arrival on the scene of this person has so much influence over mere mortals that everybody begins to behave.  The evil stop doing evil things.  Bad people stop doing bad things, and we all start to get along.  And soon we'll be in utopia. 
That is not an exaggeration.  They never roll up and get down to the substance of things, because the substance of things, something they don't even squarely face, the substance, the bad things out there are all explained by the absence of liberals. Crime, that's because they're Republicans.  Crime is because of capitalism.  Crime is because of the gap between rich and poor.  If you eliminate that, if you raise taxes and you take all the money away from the rich then the poor are going to be happy and the bad guys won't be upset about anything.  They'll stop committing crime.  There won't be any reason to because everybody will have more money because the Democrats are going to be redistribute. They think this way.  They really do believe in the power of their own existence. 
Obama believes the world is governed by the aggressive use of speeches and words.  And of course the world doesn't function that way at all.  So you've got people in positions of power and authority who really don't know what they're doing.  This guy at the Centers for Disease Control, Dr. Thomas Frieden, for those of you who haven't heard, he was Mayor  Bloomberg's health police force essentially.  He's the guy that ran the anti-trans fats program.  He's the guy that ran the no soft drink can be bigger than 16 ounces.  He's the guy that banned smoking everywhere in New York.  Nowhere, no how.  A genuine fanatic not at all rooted in reality. 
Now this guy's running the CDC.  And as Bobby Jindal's op-ed points out, the CDC got plenty of money.  They got budget increases, significant budget increases, $3 million increases.  What's the actual number?  The CDC received significant amounts of funding increases.  The vast majority of the new money the CDC got, and it predates Frieden getting there, but nevertheless, the vast majority of the money the CDC got didn't go to build up the preventive disease program or the communicable disease center.  No, just like when it came time to set up the health exchanges in the states, the vast majority of the money went to unions and other groups to do voter registration rather than actually set up healthcare exchanges. 
These are just a bunch of people snatching money from the Federal Treasury, money that really isn't there, by the way, because of our debt, but they're snatching money. Just like the stimulus was under the guise of shovel ready jobs rebuilding roads and bridges.  But where did it end up going?  The vast majority, over 75 percent, went to unions, teachers in the states to make sure they didn't lose their jobs in the recession.  There weren't any shovel ready jobs that were funded. There weren't any school or road repairs that went on. 
It's all a big joke.  All the increased funding the CDC got, something like 6 percent of it went to dealing with things like Ebola.  The rest went to community outreach and so forth.  Every federal agency has been turned into community organizing.  Registering of Democrat voters, passing out money to disadvantaged people to buy votes.  That's what it's all been turned into.  So now when a genuine crisis erupts, there's no infrastructure in place to deal with it at the CDC.  They've diverted the money to other things. 
So it's time to trot out old reliable:  Republicans are to blame.  Yessirree Bob, Republican budget cuts, because Republicans don't care about other people.  The Republicans don't care about sick people.  So we'll blame them.  Why not?  Everybody will believe us, the media will report it.  We'll do a couple of ads and everybody will think the Republicans are responsible for this. 
Where do these vaccines come from, by the way?  Where does the research and development on vaccines, cures, you name it, treatment, where does it all happen?  It doesn't happen at the CDC, does it?  It doesn't happen at the Institutes for Health.  No it happens in the private sector.  I'm sorry, it happens where private enterprise takes place.  It happens where there are scientific research and development companies who earn a profit. 
Now, I wonder what kind of regulations have been imposed on them by agencies like the Food and Drug Administration.  I have no idea, but I would venture to say here that a lot of innovation, ingenuity and creativity is being stifled in the name of big government by overregulation.  Why do we have a shortage of this serum?  I know it only comes from one tobacco plant in Kentucky, why is there a shortage? 
In the United States of America, this doesn't happen.  Shortages of this kind of thing happen in lesser developed countries.  Why is this happening here?  Why all of a sudden are we inept?  Why all of a sudden are we not competent to deal with this?  Why all of a sudden are we not the place to turn to when outbreaks like this happen?  



Obama administration scraps quarantine regulations

The Obama administration has quietly scrapped plans to enact sweeping new federal quarantine regulations that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention touted four years ago as critical to protecting Americans from dangerous diseases spread by travelers.
The regulations, proposed in 2005 during the Bush administration amid fears of avian flu, would have given the federal government additional powers to detain sick airline passengers and those exposed to certain diseases. They also would have expanded requirements for airlines to report ill passengers to the CDC and mandated that airlines collect and maintain contact information for fliers in case they later needed to be traced as part of an investigation into an outbreak.
Airline and civil liberties groups, which had opposed the rules, praised their withdrawal.
The Air Transport Association had decried them as imposing "unprecedented" regulations on airlines at costs they couldn't afford. "We think that the CDC was right to withdraw the proposed rule," association spokeswoman Elizabeth Merida said Thursday.
The American Civil Liberties Union had objected to potential passenger privacy rights violations and the proposal's "provisional quarantine" rule. That rule would have allowed the CDC to detain people involuntarily for three business days if the agency believed they had certain diseases: pandemic flu, infectious tuberculosis, plague, cholera, SARS, smallpox, yellow fever, diphtheria or viral hemorrhagic fevers such as Ebola.
"The fact that they're backing away from this very coercive style of quarantine is good news," said ACLU legislative counsel Christopher Calabrese, who was unaware the proposed rules had been withdrawn.
CDC officials had stressed the rules would only be used in rare circumstances when someone posed a threat and refused to cooperate. The new rules, they noted at the time, added legal protections and appeals for those subject to quarantines.
CDC spokeswoman Christine Pearson said in a statement Thursday that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the CDC's parent agency, withdrew the proposed regulations after discussion across the government made it clear that "further revision and reconsideration is necessary to update the regulations."
HHS and the CDC are crafting new regulations that will incorporate public health lessons learned since 2005, Pearson said in the statement. She did not elaborate and referred questions to HHS. HHS spokeswoman Vicki Rivas-Vazquez said late Thursday the department had no further comment.
Last June, after the H1N1, or swine flu, pandemic emerged, the White House Office of Management and Budget received the final rules for review, records show. HHS withdrew the proposed regulations Jan. 20 — after more than four years of refining them and reviewing public comments.
Jennifer Nuzzo, at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center's Center for Biosecurity, said the rapid worldwide spread of swine flu showed flaws in the proposed regulations' premise.
"They probably learned during H1N1 that this hope of preventing diseases from entering the country by stationing people at airports is unrealistic," she said.
In 2007, after an Atlanta man with drug-resistant tuberculosis drew international attention to the potential risks posed by infected air travelers, CDC Director Julie Gerberding testified before Congress that the proposed regulations would improve the agency's ability to identify exposed passengers quickly. Gerberding, now president of Merck Vaccines, was unavailable for comment Thursday.
Even in the Bush administration, some were skeptical of the CDC's 2005 proposal, said Stewart Baker, assistant secretary for policy at the Department of Homeland Security from 2005 to 2009. "There were a lot of questions about how plausible it was to treat airports as a place where you could stop and inspect and quarantine people," Baker said Thursday.
