Can we please stop spreading the blatant lie that trump cut CDC funding, he did not:

@freemo True or not (and Snopes more or less agrees: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-cut-cdc-budget/ ), the tone of that article makes me very suspicious of using them as a *reliable* information source.
...something that seems to be backed up by a quick check of what the Mises Institute is on Wikipedia. By their very nature, think tank websites seek to promote a specific view of the world... that means that, at best, they'll promote facts that support their views and downplay ones that disagree.
@ssokolow I agree they are completely biased, I would not recommend them as a general news source.
With that said in this particular article I do agree with everything they said so felt it was worth sharing. I also had done the research myself already and knew this to be true (I mostly read the bills as they get passed and avoid all mainstream news). In this case I was looking for an article after the fact to convey information I already knew. I read a few and found this one most closely matched the research I did and the facts I knew to be true.
