Make America Sick Again, Cont'd.




The clearest sign that the Malignant Fascist's regime, and its lead witch doctor RFK, Jr., never had any intention of working to make America healthier is the drastic 30% cut in the Health and Human Services proposed budget. Such a cut would require consolidation of agencies, and the elimination of dozens of programs. From Politico:

"Public health initiatives aimed at HIV/AIDS prevention would no longer exist. Major parts of the National Institutes of Health would be abolished. The Food and Drug Administration would cease routine inspections at food facilities. And funding for many of the administration’s priorities are on the chopping block, including federal programs focused on autism, chronic disease, drug abuse and mental health.

Overall, the proposal outlined by the White House Office of Management and Budget recommends slashing HHS’ overall discretionary funding to roughly $80.4 billion, down from the $116.8 billion enacted in the fiscal 2025 budget." (our emphasis)

While the cuts are not final and will have to get Congress' buy-in, they represent the thinking of the MF's regime, as well as the types of cuts envisioned in the infamous "Project 2025" blueprint for a fascist America. They would result in vastly diminished research that is pursuing cures to a range of diseases. The article notes that brain worm host RFK, Jr. has already cut HHS's workforce by 20,000, including early retirements and buyouts, and more:

"The overall cutback in HHS funding would be driven by zeroing out the budgets of several smaller agencies and programs, including those focused on substance abuse and services for low-income and older Americans, to shift a slimmed-down selection of their activities into a new division called the Administration for a Healthy America.

The National Institutes of Health and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention would also face sharp funding cuts, with the proposal slashing funding for both public health agencies by more than 40 percent." (our emphasis)

It's especially rich that one of the budget cuts is for substance abuse programs, given RFK, Jr.'s past heroin addiction. The cuts to services for low-income and older Americans fits with this MF's regime's reckless social Darwinism and cruelty for cruelty's sake, especially when it redirects money to tax cuts for the highest incomes / MF donors.
