POLITICAL "Economics" - IGNORANCE IS BLISS in Budgeting Process..
WASHINGTON — The Department of Health and Human Services tried to play down on Saturday a report that officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had been barred from using seven words or phrases, including:
“science-based,” “fetus,” “transgender” and “vulnerable,” in agency budget documents.
....The news set off an uproar among advocacy groups and some Democratic officials, who denounced any efforts to muzzle federal agencies or censor their language.
...A former C.D.C. official, who asked not to be identified, said that some staff members were upset because the purported ban suggested that their work was being politicized. (NYT 12/17/17)
