News, Food safety bill could die. (Congress, death, Reid, leader)

[JD59]

A sweeping food safety bill that passed the House and Senate earlier this year before stalling because of a legislative technicality now will likely die because Republicans object to giving it quick approval in the waning days of the congressional session, Senate leadership aides on both sides of the aisle said Friday.

The bill, designed to increase government inspections of the food supply in the wake of recent deadly food borne disease outbreaks, originally passed with wide support in the both chambers.

I hope so. The gov. needs to stay out of my refrigerator!

It needs to die.

The current regulation/inspection teams need to do the job they're paid to do.

New legislation only brings more headaches for all.

In your own fridge, it's your fault. In the grocery store, not so much!

This bill is a sleeper cell to destroy our ability to feed ourselves in our own community.

The rurals would be affected the most, generally because they buy local seasonal produce and meats.

Farmers markets and backyard gardens will be regulated to death.

Control the food, control the sheeple.

And what would this admin do if the found something wrong? Nothing of course.

This admin was suppose to be watching over the inspections of oil rigs in the gulf and what happened?

The inspection report of how the rig failed its last inspection was never caught by this administrations officials and therefore the damage was done.

Thanks for watching those rigs and forgetting to read the inspection reports.

This food bill has nothing to do with watch dogging it, and has everything to do with trying to control food.

Even if they found something they would forget to read the report anyway.

It should die, let's hope it does.

More incompetence from Reid........thank goodness!

Food-safety bill victim of omnibus defeat, incompetence « Hot Air

Senate Democrats bragged that they had passed a far-reaching food-safety bill opposed by conservatives for its overreach and regulatory expansion, until their counterparts in the House pronounced it dead on arrival for its unconstitutional creation of new tax policy. Reid had hoped to sneak the House version into the omnibus in order to wipe the egg off of his face, but that plan ended up under the omnibus:
