POLITICS - Another Example of Republicanism

"Funding Battle Looms for New Food-Safety Law" by Molly Peterson, Bloomberg 1/3/2011

Excerpt

President Barack Obama will sign a $1.4 billion food-safety bill today that marks the biggest change to oversight of the food industry since 1938 and sets up a funding fight with Republicans poised to take over the House.

The House subcommittee that monitors the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s budget may be unwilling to spend that much on the legislation, said Representative Jack Kingston, a Georgia Republican who is in line to become chairman of the panel.

Typical Republicanism, money before the safety of the food YOU eat. You are not worth it.
