Short-sighted once again

The Flying Monkey Caucus in the House of Representatives has struck another blow against common sense.   After the administration asked for funds to research and fight the Zika virus before it leads to birth defects in the US, the house introduced a bill which appropriates no new funds and instead takes money from existing programs like the fight against ebola and redirects it to the Zika fight.  Obama has vowed to veto the bill as it stands, but before that can happen the Senate must weigh in with its own bill and then reconcile with the  House.  Meanwhile, women who are in their childbearing years must deal with another anxiety during pregnancy.  This is especially true in southern areas of the US where mosquito activity is already picking up.   The virus has already caused at least one case of microcephaly in Puerto Rico and with the steady migration of people from that island to the mainland, people with active Zika in their bloodstream could begin the process of infection.  Tell me, who elected these idiots and what did we do to deserve this congress?
