They've got the perfect complement in a Senator.


Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn has blocked consideration of a food safety
bill that would give the Food and Drug Administration more power to
prevent foodborne illness.

The legislation would give the agency more power to recall tainted
products, increase inspections of food processors and require
producers to follow stricter standards for keeping food safe. Coburn,
a Republican, says he is objecting because the bill is not paid for.

Republicans say Democrats could get around Coburn's objections by
voting to end debate on the bill, which would require 60 votes. The
legislation passed the House last year and has strong bipartisan
support. A spokeswoman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada
said Democrats should not have to resort to such procedural moves.

I guess we only have to pay for tax cuts and not increased spending. Why
don't the Democrats propose a new tax on food produced for human
consumption? Add the tax at ever stop along the way through the food
processing chain.

Coburn didn't have a problem funding bullets and bombs that "weren't
paid for" but god forbid we protect our own citizens from food borne
illnesses.

Over regulation leads to black markets.



Right... all those black markets are going to spring up when peas are
regulated. Right...

In spoiled meat and eggs?

I guess he never read Upton Sinclair's book The Jungle.

Correction: He never reads.

Keep in mind that Bertie went into the marines after high school.
Thinking is not an attribute valued among marine recruits.

I guess you've never been poisoned from buying tainted food. Either that or
it went right to your head.

Like most slope-headed Republicans, they never figure the true cost of
**** ups. They're still working on the notion that resources are
limitless.

What do you suppose the cost of a million pounds of meat being
recalled is in product, labor, lost productivity, lost feed, etc.?

God forbid a Republican thinks more than one step ahead. It'd make
their brains hurt too much.

It is a cost that the business bears and the business' reputation has to
live with. Preventing screw ups of this magnitude are of primary concern
to businesses.

It could be catastrophic to the business. Do you think the business
wants to be known for putting out bad products? Does your business do
such a sloppy job at putting out products that you have an emergency
recall fund?

God forbid a Republican thinks more than one step ahead. It'd make
their brains hurt too much.

I guess those "fine German screwdrivers" help in putting out a high
quality product?

If it were only that simple and greedy *******s weren't part of the
equation, the egg producers would have reacted to the warnings they
were given.

They said "damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead" with the public's
health left hanging in the balance.

You're a fool if you think the threat of repercussions would make
honest men out of pigs.

They're far less likely to slip out of screw heads if the bit is
manufactured well. But I'm sure a cheap Chinese piece of crap feels
the same in your hands, Bertie.

Yeah, killing people with tainted food is certainly a private sector
responsibility. Too bad if a business goes out of business if it murdered
people with bad food. According to you and other nutcases, the family of the
person who dies has no recourse, not even in the courts, so why not remove
all the regulations.

Were you born stupid or did you learn it somewhere?
