REPORT: Obama diverted at least $1 Billion in funds from fighting Ebola...
(by Melissa Quinn, The Daily Signal) --
Seeking a more robust defense in the event of a bioterrorist attack on
the United States, the Bush administration created a $6 billion fund to
prepare the nation for such threats, including the deadly Ebola virus.
The Obama administration, however, has not used the range of tools and budget provided by the post-9/11 project, focusing instead on only three targets and diverting at least $1 billion to other priorities, a review by The Daily Signal found.
Nearly five years ago, in fact, the administration’s own biodefense science board warned that project funds “should not be diverted to support other initiatives, regardless of the merit of other purposes.”
