House Cuts FDA Budget by $285 Million!How many minutes will it take the US to accumulate that much new debt at the rate the nation is borrowing?
To: Sopater
Unfortunately, it is just for show.
The funding will be fully restored (if not increased) in the Senate version and when it goes to the conference committee the RINOs will cave.

Certainly not. It's only a baby step. We have a very long way to go.

We need a 50% cut of all Fed agency funding, just as an across-the-board action. Then eliminate the pernicious, bloated ones, education, EPA, State Dept.

Now the funding bill moves on to the Senate... Do I understand correctly if I say that if the Senate approves this bill, then its a $285M budget cut and if the Senate does not approve, then its a $1.4B budget cut?

You know people will die because of this, either bad drugs will get approved. or good drugs will be slow to market. How do I know? Because Nancy Belagosie will tell us on every Alphabet News channel tonight.

E Coli will mysteriously turn up at some hamburger drive thru out in South Succotash someplace, the media will decry GOP austerity and they will all turn tail and run for the hills.
To: C210N
No. The $285M cut inhibits the $1.4 billion to be implemented over the next five years.
To: ransacked
That’s too bad... sounds like advantage to the ‘rats, as neither Reed (sic) nor zer0 will be inclined to go along.

I think they should eliminate BATFE ASAP.
To: Buckeye McFrog
The great thing about that is that there are laws to protect the companies that produce the e. coli laden food! Imagine what would happen to the occurrence of e. coli, salmonella, etc., if we were a capitalist country and private citizens could sue when contaminated products where sold as safe to consume. We would not need the bloated FDA!

That's an interesting perspective and I'm not sure of the answer. That depends on how it is handled if it is not passed. Will the FDA go on to spend the $1.4B without the bill or will they not be able to spend anything? I expect that if the bill does not pass, then there will be another one to follow.

...FDA will not be allowed to use its funds in FY2012 to approve genetically engineered salmon.
And the problem with GM salmon is.....

fifty years of propaganda that these agencies “keep us safe” has certainly done its damage
To: Sopater
285 Billion would show a half-hearted beginning for me.
I don't trust any of those weasels to do anything but tinker around the edges for show to have the miserable MSM be "shocked at the GOP, starving the poor, women and children hurt the most!"
It's called "electioneering" and runs heavily this time of year.
