I'm sorry you're so jaded, Intense.Here is my concern with the Bill in a nutshell.
For Example: If the Federal Government so chose to handle Imports into this Country, as it has handles Illegal Immigration, by refusing to take It's responsibility seriously, and obstructing Individual States when They attempt to do what the Federal Government refuses to, what is to stop the Federal Government from forcing the Import of contaminated food for what ever perverted reason or excuse it gives, and allow harm. How many way's in our lives does the Government assume control, fall asleep on the job, and refuse anyone else permission to act in it's place? I only bring this up because it sadly appears to me that the Government has more times proved itself incompetent and incapable of keeping up It's end of the deal. Be the issue the simplification of filling out Tax Forms, or understanding Tax Law, be it administration in most areas of our lives, we see redundancy, we see delay, we see great expense.
I truly like and support the Ideas and Principles in the Bill. The problem is "Will Government be able to act proficiently, capably, and within reason." How much food will be at risk of perishing because of incompetent bureaucracy? Can we trust these guy's or will the food loss end up dwarfing what Roosevelt destroyed during the Great Depression? I have a hard time trusting a Government that Obstructs that do what it refuses to do itself. I truly wish I didn't feel this way, the intentions sound noble. I'm just fed up with being screwed over.
I can empathize to some degree.
To believe that the FDA would intentionally cause harm is parallel to our 9-11 threads.
