>No, he only proposed cutting the CDC budget. Luckily, saner minds prevailed.
Presidents do not pass the budget; Congress does, under the Constitution. The annual President-proposed budget is just that, a starting point from which to negotiate from. Both the House (currently controlled by Democrats) and Senate (Republicans) have to pass it.
If you criticize the president for starting out with a proposal for cutting the CDC budget (and for most other agencies), why not also praise him for signing the final budget that raised its budget?
- grey-area 7y agoI don’t find anything praiseworthy in his actions re this crisis, he has and will continue to handle it really badly IMO.
