Cherry Picking what they can cut to frighten America.
pay tribute to Fedzilla, or starve.
But Kerry’s cash gifts to the Muslim Brotherhood are ESSENTIAL!
Hardly anyone can afford meat anymore anyway, so what’s the problem?
We also had state inspectors there 24/7 who duplicated what the federal inspectors did. Dumb.
BS!
Who knew.. cows being furloughed.
And when I said assigned, they actually had their offices inside our plant. They also had a secretary. They were never there. The times I saw them was in summer, late at night during rain storms. They were inspecting for roof leaks or dripping of condensate in processing areas. While they appeared incredibly lazy and aloof, they did seem to know what to look for and where to look for it. They were not deft. Black drain flies must have been a big issue as well because the QA army inside the plant based their checks on what USDA looked for. Drips from ceilings and pipes, black drain flies, room temps kept below 38 dgrees, and sanitation records seemed to be the big ticket focus.
Can't let an opportunity go to waste just because you have no real crisis.
In other words, furloughs will begin sometime before July 1, though Vilsack wouldn’t guess at how many days or months beforehand.

Instead of ‘forced’ furloughs that disrupt EVERYONE, why not knock off paid Holidays and either pay straight time + COMP time for those that do work.
I am sure some of this new fangled ‘personal days’, ‘paternity leave’ etc could revert back to the old days.
Of course do that and ‘the workers’ wouldn’t be able to take a sick day and leave day as quick as they accumulate them, again, back to the old days.
OLD isn’t always bad, in this case it could be beneficial for all.
Of course, if you were to do that, you would cut down on the number of people you can inconvenience.
No meat products on the shelves for the WIC program—aka baby food—in the near future? Can’t give away anything there isn’t any of? New Zealander, Australian, and Argentine meat products anyone? That frozen Argentina beef is the toughest stuff to run through a grinder in my experience.
Aren’t the inspectors into all food not just chicken and meat? Is this going to be the start of food shortages for everything not just those mentioned?
So, ah, everyone in the meat industry is just going to let the government shut them down, trash whatever is in the pipeline and destroy their business? I don’t think so.
Mark my words, by the Fourth of July beef prices will be high and the administration will blame them on the sequestration.
Reason: “US cattle herd numbers drop to 60-year low
Midwest drought driving ranching operations north, west”
With the high price of feed, we’ve sold all our cattle.
The Millenium Ark (standeyo.com) has already alerted the knowing readership, 4 months ago, that there will be an upcoming beef shortage, brought on by the continuing drought.
More hysteria and promotions of panic.
