“If you could depend on the government for one thing it was that you had to be able to trust the water that our kids drank and the food that they ate. But this is the E. coli club. They do not want to spend money to do that.” – House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), in The Hill, criticizing Republicans for making cuts to government programs that keep citizens safe and health
Cuts to the FDA started with George W. Bush and the incidents of food and drug poisoning soared 1,500%. Government isn’t the enemy. Government is what keeps our nation’s food, water and drugs safe for the American consumer. Pelosi is 100% correct.
The Boehner/Cantor Congress only cares about corporate America.
If the Founding Fathers could come back today and see the utter mess in Washington, I’m convinced they would jump back into their graves ASAP.
This is worst Congress in memory. Completely useless.
“The E. coli club.” Perfect description of this congress.
