[Vince Ferrer]

Obama's economic philosophy can be summed in the broken window fallacy. From forcing power producers to switch power plants before their operating life is over, to car manufacturers redesigning cars to fit his new CAFE standards, to adding wheelchair access to swimming pools , to now redesigning food distribution and increasing the cost of food, everyone in business has to conform to his priorities, rather than work on their own priorities.

From the Declaration of Independence:

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

“everyone in business has to conform to his priorities, rather than work on their own priorities.”

The Feds, whatever their particular flavor, generally, work behind fences, in buildings, with armed guards. They issue edicts and proclamations and we obey them. If we don’t they send out armed goon squads to harass, imprison or murder us. Why do we obey them? They use fear and intimidation backed up by lethal force.

[KoRn]

Our Executive branch has become far, FAR too powerful! They are implementing changes on a whim with a stroke of a pen that should require legislation from the Congress.

Over the years our president has become our Emperor. Certainly NOT what the President was intended to be!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The only purpose of Ubama’s EPA and FDA is to make living astronomically-expensive for the peasants so that they die-off as quickly as possible.

DOES THIS MEAN THAT FARMER”S MARKETS ARE OUT?

[Rebelbase]

Has anyone noticed the run of “Hunger in America” commercials lately?

They are trying to infer that just about anyone in your neighborhood is struggling with putting food on the table.

Propaganda to de-stigmatize food stamps, IMO.

[Vendome]

I don’t understand this rep. cap. Our food supply. is what? 99.9% safe?

I don’t see the cost benefit to this.

But, Barry has to pad his resume, even if it’s with garbage that doesn’t amount to a hill of beans.

[Candor7]

We raise our own food, we freeze it , can it , dry it and store it.We raise our own beef , hogs, and poultry.We have a huge garden.

The FDA can go to hell.

[GraceG]

Most certainly it will apply to imported food as well....

Sarcasm mode off...

Commenting on proposed rules isn't a waste of time, at least in my experience with the Office of Inspector General and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid services.
