The Growing Zika Threat–and Congress’s Inaction
2nd August 2016
Recently I wrote about why Washington gridlock is probably not the only reason Congress did not pass any of President Barack Obama‘s request for funds to fight Zika. It seems that lawmakers have not appreciated the severity of the Zika threat thus far.
Uh, dude? Not every problem is a problem for Congress, okay? Unless it’s a seriously contagious disease, it’s a local problem.
“Ron Klain was the White House Ebola response coordinator from October 2014 to February 2015. He is now an external adviser to the Skoll Global Threats Fund.” Ah, I see. His income depends on there being no local problems. Well, that’s good to know.
Somewhat annoying to find crap like this in the Wall Street Journal.
