This interesting bit of news from the Washington Post:

GOP Senator Tom Coburn from Oklahoma is holding up a food saftey bill because he’s afraid it will add to the deficit.

All the more reason to have home gardens and raise your own chickens….

GOP senator says he will hold up food safety bill

WASHINGTON — A Republican senator is threatening to hold up food safety legislation that would give the Food and Drug Administration more power to prevent outbreaks, saying Democrats must find a way to pay for it.

Many people didn't. That's why we have an FDA.

I gotta love republican thinking. Fighting a war install social welfare states in countries of people they hate is small government. Regulating food safety is totally unnecessary bureaucracy

Complete horse shit.

Leftist power mongers site small statics, out of context, to create problems where there are none. They do this to gain power for themselves.

The fact is that the FDA does more harm than good because it drives up the costs of bringing life saving medicines to market and it also prohibits life saving medicines from entering the market that are on the market in Europe and Japan. The Europeans and Japanese DO NOT die more frequently from bad drugs than Americans. We waste time and money for no reason.

The U.S. has the most screwed up government in the entire developed world. It's time that change.

Venison, anyone? ;-) It's better than beef. Just had elk steak and elk burgers the other night. Yummy.
