The Obama administration warned on Friday that across-the-board spending cuts set to take effect in March may result in furloughing every U.S. meat and poultry inspector for two weeks, causing the meat industry to shut down.
By law, meatpackers and processors are not allowed to ship beef, pork, lamb and poultry meat without the Agriculture Department's inspection seal.
The prospect of mass furloughs of meat and food inspectors was part of a broader White House warning about the effects of the potential spending cuts on everyday life. Meatpackers said a shut-down would devastate consumers as well as their industry.

Never happen. Wookie needs her supply of horse meat and Buckwheat wants his Wagyu steaks.
Oh Jeez,
Smack my butt, I done forgot possums. Possum bellies can be fried up into fluffy, crunchy treats, just like pork rinds.
The possum don’t taste half bad either, depending on what you put in the stew pot with it.
HeeHeeHee,
Horse meat’s been making the news of late. If the horse hasn’t been jacked up on all kinds of this-n-that drugs, not one single “consumer” can tell you the difference between it and mediocre quality beef.
Just ask Burglar King, Taco Bellie and a few other “respectable” food distributors. Seems like in London, if you ate any pre-prepared lasagna, you got 100% horse meat.
As for Buckwheat, who knows what he’ll eat.
“Seems like in London, if you ate any pre-prepared lasagna, you got 100% horse meat. As for Buckwheat, who knows what hell eat.”
Your analysis is on target. Buckwheat will eat whatever Wookie throws in his water dish.
LOL,
Oh Hell, you’re badder than Buckwheat!
Water dish is “the dish”.
LOL
Have a good weekend.
The Tea Party lives!

The President will urge Congress to come together and act to ensure these devastating cuts to defense and job-creating programs dont take effect. - White House statement, February 5, 2013
Zippy couldn't get away with this without his Ministry of Truth. This is right out of 1984.
The consent to government regulation is predicated on the government performing the act of regulating. Should the government neglect its part of that agreement, the regulated may proceed without regulation.
Seems a sensible interpretation of SCOTUS’s decision on US vs Rock Island Armory.
