While I disagree with him about if it should be required, the reports really try to make it into something it isn't.

A misleading thread from the OP? Say it ain't so!

IMO, no, it is not. Where in the Constitution does it say that the Federal Government has that power? If the Government is not granted the power, how can the Government give such power to an agency created by that Government?

There was a time when Americans took pride in our excellent public health initiatives.

The world needs more signs at the behest of government. It's the final piece to the puzzle of true happiness.

E. coli contamination is the taste of non-coercion, or something. If a few people croak from botulism, it's just the market correcting itself.

Would the anti-regulation republicans also want to do away with infection control measures in hospitals such as .............hand washing?

So hospital workers wouldnt be concerned about infection protocols without guv signs?
I wonder how some of you get dressed everyday without a bureaucrat in your closet.

They do care, so lets get rid of JCAHO. Accreditation, Health Care, Certification | Joint Commission

We could save a bundle of tax payer money by eliminating this regulatory agency, wouldn't we?

Thats true. There is no mention of hand washing in the Constitution'

OTOH, there is no mention of airplanes or cars either. Lots of rules and regulations around today re them though.

The clown/congressman cited did want a sign. He just wanted it to say "Employees may or may not have washed their hands."
