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.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Bush would veto any bill drafted by House Democratic leaders that would fund the Iraq war only into summer, his spokesman said Wednesday, even as the Pentagon held out hope that troops could begin withdrawing if the Iraqi government makes progress by fall.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates told a Senate committee that if violence in Iraq declines enough to allow the government to move forward, including steps toward political reconciliation, the U.S. could begin pulling troops out. . . .

Gates also told the panel that proposals for a short-term funding bill would be very disruptive and “have a huge impact” on contracts to repair and replace equipment. The Defense Department, he said, just doesn’t “have the agility to manage a two month appropriation.”

“I essentially have 10,000 faucets all running money,” Gates said. “Turning them on and off with precision and on a day-to-day basis, or even a month-to- month basis, gets very difficult.” And, he said that if Congress votes again in July, but rejects the funding bill, “I would have to shut down significant elements of the Department of Defense in August and September because I wouldn’t have the money to pay salaries.”
