That reminded me that BHM had a reference to canning butter(!).

Dear NaturalNews readers,
The Economic Stimulus bill about to be passed by the U.S. Senate is about much more than simply stimulating the economy: It contains sweeping health care changes buried deep in 800 pages of practically unreadable text. Some of the more frightening items include:
* A requirement that the full health care records of all Americans be tracked in government databases by 2014.
* $954,000,000 in new spending on vaccines. (Almost a billion dollars in vaccinations!)
* Over half a billion dollars of spending to “carry out chronic disease” and run “genomics programs” (http://www.naturalnews.com/025608.html).
* Big Government control over the actions of doctors, who will be required to “harmonize” their medical care to meet new government guidelines.
What does any of this have to do with an “economic stimulus?” It sounds more like a Big Pharma stimulus...
This isn’t about right vs. left, Republican vs. Democrat or Big Government vs. small government. This is about the insanity of suddenly unleashing a whole new layer of government bureaucracy regarding health care without any public debate! Such huge changes to any nation should never be passed under the guise of an emergency economic stimulus bill when, in reality, it’s hiding 140+ pages of sweeping health care changes that nobody has yet had time to even read (much less actually debate...)

By the way, the FDA has effectively banned a form of Vitamin B6. And as promised, here’s the true story of this bewildering development:

The world gets stranger by the day, huh?
I just want to point out, by the way, that I am on the record being against BOTH the Bush bailout bill and the Obama bailout bill. My position has remained consistent: The creation of trillions of dollars in new money will ultimately rob Americans of the value of their hard-earned dollars, causing far more economic harm than help.
And yet I’ve noticed a lot of people are strangely inconsistent on these bailouts. They were against the Bush bailout, but not they’re suddenly in favor of the Obama bailout (or vice-versa). Folks, these two bailouts are essentially the same con packaged behind two different faces (and political parties). This isn’t about Republicans vs. Democrats, people, it’s about the rich vs. the working class. Both of these bailout bills are essentially about rich people being bailed out by poor people, just so they can keep their million-dollar bonuses.
Don’t believe me? Check this out: Last year, as Merrill Lynch was losing $27 billion to be covered by taxpayers, it paid out an astonishing 700 million-dollar bonuses to its executives. Read it at the New York Times:

This is the truth about what’s happening in America today, friends: The rich are getting richer on the backs of the working poor. Presidents may change, but class warfare always is always the same: It’s about stealing from the poor and giving to the rich.
