I read some senator wants to hold up the US investment for helping out in Africa for political reasons. I suppose there are no voters in Africa so why spend money there.

- maxerickson 12y agoIt's a nice idea to only repeat things like that if you can find some decent source for it. Here's one: http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/10/09/us-health-ebola-usa-senator-idUSKCN0HY27L20141009 http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/10/09/us-health-ebola-us... (Well, I think it's useful to provide a source for something like that, it cuts at least 1 step out of the game of telephone that may ensue.)
- hga 12y agoSo Senator Inhofe's concerns about the health of our servicemen sent over there, and how this will play out over the long term (this money is not going to last more than 6 months), are unwarranted, a ruse for parochialism? Note the DoD is currently using already budgeted money, this is for the future.
