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.

How the hell did we survive before the FDA existed?

It takes Europe and Japan a fraction of the time it takes Americans to approve new drugs. There are helpful drugs on the market in Europe and Japan that have been outlawed in the U.S.

Is there a big difference in the number people who die from drug side effects in the U.S., Europe, and Japan???

NOPE.

We waste time and money for no reason.

I've been to 26 counties. I've been to many of those countries 5, 10, 20 or more times. In some respects, America is still the greatest country in the world. In other respects, America is the most screwed up country in the entire world.

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
