Hound you need to take responsibillity for your actions and quit trying to shift the blame to me and others.  When you first returned to the forum recently I was glad to see it.  Honestly it had gotten to be dull and you injected some life into the debate.  That is until you referred to Hob as a 'wage grade', thereby starting the personal attacks, simply because he disagreed with you.  I went back a reread the ebola thread also.  Your suggestion was the same as all beaurocrats, throw more money at the problem.  I had just read an article about the CDC and their budgets and was shocked to find out that only 6% went to infectious/communicable diseases study/prevention.  My suggestion that you difersify your reading was sincere.  Obviously wherever you get your news wasn't mentioning all the details.  Like Congress allocating more than was requested by POTUS and 25 million in bonuses.  More money into a beauracracy has never sovled anything.

You need a long look in the mirror.  It is you that has started the personal attacks with commenst such as 'wage grade' and 'armchair expert'.  Only you would extrapolate that my comments about the CDC budget  translates into me thinking I am an expert that knows best how allocate/spend that budget. But I know wastefull spending when I see it.  If you or anyone else went into business to sell widgets with $x.xx dollars, but only spent 6% of those dollars attempting to sell said widgets you would soon close, no matter how noble the causes that the other 94% was spent on.

Lastly, have you checked your Karma rating lately?  You are at -18, up from -17 yesterday.  By comparison, I am only at -8.  Ponder on that a while.
