Warning: Congress May Be Hazardous to Your Health
By Chuck Muth

If only we could live on the hot air and posturing of our elected officials. That would eliminate our reliance on food and, with luck, our need for prescription drugs as well. Since 1906 we’ve entrusted Food & Drug Administration to ensure the safety of our vital food and drugs. Foolishly, we’ve also entrusted Congress and successive administrations to provide appropriate oversight and management of the agency. Now, after a century of Washington-style bureaucracy-building, America is stuck with an FDA that’s unequivocally incapable of safeguarding either our food or our drugs… FULL COMMENTARY.

So let's see. Our government has made a mess of:
(1.) The FDA
(2.) Social Security
(3.) Medicare
(4.) The VA Hospitals

And we want them to run our health-care system for everyone? I think not. (HH)
