Quote:Arguing that the U.S. food supply is 99 percent safe, House Republicans cut millions of dollars Thursday from the Food and Drug Administration’s budget, denying the agency money to implement landmark food safety laws approved by the last Congress.
I once heard Glenn Beck use this same argument that since our food is safe, we no longer need the FDA to regulate it. Um...you dumbfucks, the reason our food is safe is because of the FDA.
In MI, our newly elected governor needed to 'cut' the deficit so he raised taxes on the poor and elderly to the tune of several hundred million dollars(can't remember the exact number). Then immediately gave an even larger amount in tax cuts to Michigan businesses.
