More Costly Mandates Coming... Congress May Prohibit Antibiotic Use in Industrial Farm Animals - Food Prices Will Rise

People like the noxious Pew Center, and the Union of Concerned Scientists are behind this bill. Obviously, it will increase the health risks for farm animals, thus increasing costs for farmers and for consumers, all at a time when people are out of work, and food prices are not only rising, they will rise steeply as the inflationary policies of the US government and its legal money monopoly, the Fed, hit the stores. Sometimes one wonders if the bad ideas coming one after another in DC aren't pre-planned.

Here is the piece:

C-Span appears to be the only network that has covered this.

US Lawsuit Against UBS Delayed By US Judge - Looks Ominous for Banking Privacy

Let's hope that the Swiss don't buckle on this. Gard will have an audio today that discusses this, and highlights certain aspects of the increased intensity of the federal thirst for money.

Senate Approves $42.9 Billion "Homeland Security" Bill -- Increases Police State, Includes Reimportation of Canadian Drugs

Love the way they add all sorts of amendments to these things!

First, you have the feds sticking to the fallacious belief that it is a federal role, and not a state role (as is actually written in the constitution) to control immigration. Then you have "E-Verify", which only applies to federal employers now, but will clearly expand to all US employers, THEN you have the sticky issue of allowing reimportation of drugs from Canada that are made cheaper due to the Canadian government's regulatory mess, sort of like a mafia controlling the cost of pasta in your city. Is it really ethical to buy said pasta?

Tricky stuff, that. Here's the article:

Not Only Do The Pols Want to FINE You If You Don't Get Health Insurance, Now, They Want (SHOCK!) Higher Taxes

Okay, so your medical privacy will be gone. The company with which you privately contract will be competing against a tax-subsidized government health plan, the insurance company will have all sorts of regulations and requirements applied to it by the feds, forcing up costs, and if you don't get health insurance, you will be fined. Now, the new taxes they will need to fund the federal plan are being proposed.

 

Ahh, that heady aroma of freedom --- decaying.

Sweet, isn't it?

Probe Finds Fed Security Can't Even Protect Federal Buildings - Yet People Think It Will Protect THEM as Civilians?

Good report from the AP and ABC News. Click on the video when you can, some of the stories of inefficiency and stupidity are almost funny, except, of course, that all of this is being done at the eexpense of your physical freedom and your financial freedom, even as the politicians insist that they're looking out for you.

Gore Likens Himself to Winston Churchill and Compares Global Warming Fight to Battle Against Hitler and Nazis

Woah. Nice to see Gore's lack of understanding that Churchill has had a LOT of his mistakes overlooked, but how about that ego, huh? And global warming is like the Nazis? Funny, but it seems like his answer to global warming requires, uh... FASCISM to proceed. Strange, that.

As Unemployment Hits 26 Yr High, Biden Covers, Explains that "Everyone Underestimated the Bad Economy We Inherited"

Funny, but those CRAZY free market economists actually DIDN'T underestimate it! And they understand that by taking MORE money away from the productive, free market, and redirecting it through political channels, you don't do ANYTHING to help the economy recover, you RETARD true growth, you SUPPRESS it. Oh, then there's that little nagging item of the BORROWING and then there's that goofy thing with the Fed issuing money that doesn't exist...

Video is linked here. Enjoy Mr. Hairplug VP!

At what point do we tell these people to go to Hell?

Funny thing is that they don't call themselves fascists. Cool how they keep that stiff upper lip as they impose tyranny on people.

Imperial Obama Admin to Open Housing Bailouts to MORE People

Hey, so what if that's more tax money wasted, and it keeps housing priced artificially propped up at a time when the homes need to be liquidated to more closely mirror their real value, it will put faces on the TV screens that the Obama Admin can claim were "helped", so heyyyy, it's gotta be great, right?

Federal Agents Inspect Southern Houses for Guns Being Sent to Mexico: Another Consequence of the "War" on Drugs

First the feds outlaw chemicals that are taken voluntarily, inspiring a black market in the US, imprsoning people who haven't hurt anyone, seizing private property, and increasing crime. Then they make deals with the Mexican gubment to "wage war" on drug suppliers in that nation, causing untold tragedy and death. THEN then "inspect" homes where they suspect the owners have bought "too many guns" and might be selling them to the very criminals in Mexico that THE FEDERAL DRUG "WAR" has created!

Incredible.

Anyone Heard the Radio PSAs about "Free" Cell Phones from the Gubment?

They're everywhere. In New England, the talk radio stations that often broadcast "conservative" talk hosts have been playing the spots that tell people that they can get "free" cell phones, paid by the federal government. From whence might this "free" money come?

From a tax applied to YOUR phone bills.

But WHDH TV of Boston, and Hank Phillipi Ryan (who is now writing romance-crime novels) are telling people that it's a GOOD program, one that should have MORE people using it. In fact, they imply that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is doing something WRONG by not getting more people on phone socialism. Hank usually reports on rip-offs, but clearly her instincts stop at the government door on this, don't they?

Gard has the audio, will put it in a pod next!
