That's not the CDC budget. And, it's not Obama's request. It's the Congressional Justification budget. It does not show what the president requested and negotiated with Congress. This is some FoxNews level clever lying. Definitely not your work. I'm thinking Cpl2010.
You're punching above your weight class here. Not gonna end well for you. You should have read the attachment I sent, or the clips I highlighted before shooting off your mouth. Once again:
Fiscal restraints imposed by Republicans in Congress in the early years of the Obama administration left the U.S. less prepared to respond to the coronavirus pandemic today.

1. You do not know that budgets are presented and passed in Congress. Read the Constitution before you try to debate politics. It's kinda helpful.
2. The President signs off on it, but, only after both houses of Congress pass it. If the Congressional Majority is a different Party of the President, then they either debate until they come to a compromise in the middle, or, they get a supermajority and pass it anyway.
3. That lovely budget you point to in 2010 was when there was Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid leading the Congress and Obama in the Presidency. Of course it was great.
4. By 2011, the TeaParty was running the House and Senate, and immediately passed the Budget Control Act- mandating a bipartisan committee to find ways to cut discretionary spending or else trigger across-the-board cuts known as sequestration -- it became law in August 2011 and heavily influenced those cuts. Facts bro. They are helpful for perspective.
5. After using up the swine flu emergency funds, Obama tried to replenish the stockpile in 2011 and
asked Congress for $655 million, much more than the previous year ask of $596 million.
Below is a copy of the budget requests Obama made. Its the official HHS submission to Congress reflecting that repuest:

6. Congress proposed a lot less, and what was passed and signed is somewhere in the middle. Here is a copy of the bill:
Text for H.R.3070 - 112th Congress (2011-2012): Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012

7. So, in review, Obama proposed more money each year to the CDC and the Republicans pushed for cuts every years, to get anything done avoiding sequestration and extended shut downs Obama presented more than the Republicans wanted but less than the previous budget allotted.
