the eradication program ended in 22-23, they were making headway ever since. likely it wouldve been restored under harris, A GOP wh will never restore something like this. they always end using budget cuts to fund TAX CUTS.
At no point did the eradication program end. In 23-24 Biden’s USDA quadrupled funding to the Panama facility producing sterile flies. The facility had been underfunded for years (/wave Trump1) and at some point during Covid lost contain of the Darian Gap, officially reaching “we fucked up” thresholds in 2022.
It’s the now classic answer to “Why is this happening now?” Trump fucked it up, Biden tried to fix it without any sense of urgency because he just assumed he’d get eight years, and then Trump came back and fucked it up again.

I would say funding it at 4x is pretty urgent
I’d assume at least 10x was asked, and it took years for the funding to arrive
Biden was inaugurated in '21. Why did it take multiple years for that funding to be budgeted?
Maybe you don’t remember, but before Trump, we didn’t accept presidential rule by decree
Well, except for small, unimportant things like sending people to another country to go kill people.
So did the dems use presidential decree to get the funding in 2023?
Bullshit. Republicans always believed in it.
