It wasn't just a stock speculation bubble bursting. You seem to be missing that the unemployment rate was 25%. 1 in 4 people were out of work. The whole economy imploded. Edit: I see this is an old convo and @adoo already schooled you.
I think one of the things to clean up in Congress is their ability to put unrelated **** into a bill Rocket River
WHO declares Ebola outbreak in Congo and Uganda a global health emergency, with at least 80 dead - CBS News The World Health Organization has declared the Ebola outbreak in Congo and Uganda a public health emergency of international concern, after officials identified more than 250 suspected cases and 80 suspected deaths linked to the disease. Officials warned that the true scope of the outbreak could potentially be much larger than what has been reported so far, as health workers raced to intensify screening and contact tracing to contain the disease. .... The U.S. has been the single largest external player in Ebola outbreak response in the past, but experts worry the Trump administration's cuts to the U.S. Agency for International Development and its withdrawal of the country from the WHO may impact such efforts. "Before the second Trump administration, USAID would have been on the ground," Spencer said. "The CDC would have been on the ground at a moment's notice, maybe even before a moment's notice, of a new outbreak of Ebola because we were in a bunch of countries. We created relationships beforehand." Spencer also pointed to absences in the Office of Pandemic Preparedness and Response and other health agencies. However, he said the U.S. is still capable of dealing with the outbreak.
