He signed a bill addressing Parkinson's literally yesterday. Give me your job

My god. This is such embarrassing and irresponsible journalism. I got a whole ass email about it too.

Even Fox reported on the Parkinson's Disease bill that Biden signed on Jul. 2. www.fox13seattle.com/news/biden-s...

Jesus. The New York Times is now even more anti-Biden than Fox.

There are some really opportunistic people at the NYT, not doing due diligence

no, don't do it, you will become lying gray goop

Doesn’t the bill not even have any guaranteed funding attached? Feels kinda improbable that a disease advocate gets a monthly WH meeting for something relatively small potatoes. Maybe I’m wrong.

It mandates HHS which will be funded and it was lobbied for a bunch of big Parkinson groups

A bipartisan bill with no new spending just doesn’t seem likely to me to command this kind of WH attention. This wasn’t complex legislation. Also the reporters did go to the WH for comment and if this were the reason for his visits, it’d be pretty easy to share. They didn’t.

I don't think Biden has Parkinsons or was ever suspected by any doctor to have Parkinson which is the ludicrous implication of the reporting

They're not even trying to have a pretense of reporting.

I’m not agreeing with the reporting, I’m saying the insinuation that this neurologist was there working on this leg also lacks evidence

I think it's best to consider these hoofprints as belonging to a horse for the time being, though.

Isn't it absolutely standard in Congress to have separate authorization and appropriations bills?

For ref: “Some authorization laws provide spending directly. In fact, well over half of federal spending now goes to programs for which the authorizing legislation itself creates budget authority. Such spending is referred to as direct, or mandatory, spending.”

Research spending has always been discretionary. The law that created the National Science Foundation in 1950 had no guaranteed spending. But the bill has consistently been seen as very important, both at the time and in historical perspective. www.nsf.gov/about/histor...

It’s not true that research spending is always discretionary. For example the 21st Century Cures Act authorized $6.3 billion, largely to NIH. I have to sign off. Take care.

This is discretionary. The funding in the authorization bill that you cite was a wish-list, but by no means guaranteed: "The Cures Act allocates funding to NIH over each of the next 10 years, for a total of $4.8 billion. However, funding must be appropriated each year." www.nih.gov/research-tra...
