Did someone put the CDC in charge of this One Job too?

Right now, the CDC is a Conservative’s nightmare and validation:

  • Nightmare in that this Ebola epidemic is EXACTLY what we pay Govt to do certain things – and the CDC has been nothing except a Keystone Cop car full of fools.  And these stakes may be exceedingly high to us all.
  • Validation in that it is proving that that the Big Government we have is Too Big to Succeed.

What do you do, what SHOULD you do when billions are spent on an agency that needs to be ready like the firehouse behind glass – and isn’t?  Hardly should it be that we taxpayers should made to foot the bill!  No, the answer is not to let a sprawling agency sprawl even more.  It should be that it should be stripped down, fat trimmed, Mission Statement redone, its purpose re-architected, and set on a path of one thing, one reason, and doing that highly competently.

Instead of the hot mess it has become.  The CDC is a perfect example of a bureaucracy that believes it can anything it wants but fails in its most important and basic reason to exist (sorta like NASA’s mission being to reach out to Muslims).

Sidenote: hypocrisy alert – why is it that Liberals are all about stopping “city and suburban spraw” but keep insisting that the government be allowed to do the logical equivalent?  Mysteries never cease…
