There was a lot of outcry about this. Lots and lots of programs in the trenches were going to be devastated.
And two days later, TACO (appropriately, in my opinion).
I wonder who was pulling the strings on this (in both directions).

Some underling put out a statement to cut the money and the boss nixed it. Happens all the time in the work force. Perhaps the OP should join the work force and find out. ; )
When all agencies and groups receiving funds are notified of the sudden cessation of the funds, and then they communicate 2 days later that "oops, we're not doing that anymore."
That's actually called incompetence. In the grown up world.
You lecturing anyone on how grownups should act is completely and totally hilarious.
For once, don't make this about me. Debate the topic at hand. Funding of people saving the lives of people battling addiction.
It's really boring to read through a thread that is mostly attacks on me. I know why. We all know why it's happening.
Maybe, just maybe, its because you post stupid **** like this:

The new gulag/Siberia for the dictator and his minions. Might be funny if it was just a joke.
And actually mean it. If you want to be taken seriously, try breathing in some reality, first.
For your OP, we need to cut more, not less. I'm willing to bet only a tiny fraction of this budget actually helps anyone. The rest, just like most government programs, goes to line the pockets of politicians, bureaucrats, and lobbyists to perpetuate its existence.
Afuera! Afuera! Afuera!
