A Bush appointee towing the administration position on the bill....what a surprise!
Why is it so hard to accept that the overwhelming majority of medical and health-related associations believe its a good bill....not perfect, concessions were made to garner bi-partisan support...but a step in the right direction to ensure some quality control of the product and accountability of the manufacturers. Thats how the legislative process works.
But I understand why the Ron (Dr NO) Paul crowd consider it a failed bill before its even been enacted and implemented. Given their view of the role of government, I would expect nothing less.
Most Americans want some level of assurance of the quality of the products they consume and some level of truth in labeling of those products beyond the "good faith" word of manufacturers. It seems like a pretty reasonable expectation to me.
What I dont understand, because its completely baseless, is the inane argument that it will lead to banning cigarettes...then coffee, then sugar.....
