Jesse Kelly's Dangerous Comments on Food Safety

[Yeggo]

It's one thing to argue about the role of government and the virtues of personal responsibility. But when Arizona congressional candidate Jesse Kelly advocates for cutting the FDA and putting responsibility for food safety on the consumer, it ignores the work the government does every day keeping us safe from foodborne illness and disease. And it's going to get people killed.

1. Cost shifting

is the holy grail of corporate america. If they can save money by escaping regulation they then tranfer the cost of their misdeeds to the american taxpayer through medicaid and welfare for the most injured. But then again, they want to cut those programs too.
They libertarian argument hold up only for sociopaths.

2. Vote Republican and die.

It's no exaggeration, not anymore.

3. Are you aware that we only inspect about 3 to 5% of our food?

GATT, NAFTA and WTO agreements prevent us from inspecting our food these days.

We are now an importer nation, despite the abundance of dfood our farmers produce, when it comes to our foodstuffs. And this fact is also due to the GATT, NAFTA and WTO agreements.

The International Players are playing us. And tomorrow we probably won't even have the right to control our water.
