This time, it's neither a Republican thing or a Democrat thing -- it's a bullshit thing. This has been going on for a long time, and neither party has done a damn thing about it. Take a look at this:
For three decades, U.S. inspectors visited 250 meat processing plants as rarely as once every two weeks despite federal law requiring daily inspection, Agriculture Department officials admitted to lawmakers on Thursday.
"All I can say is, it's been going on for a long time," said Undersecretary Richard Raymond to the House Appropriations subcommittee on agriculture. "It's going to stop now."
Well, that's just great. They're going to work on stopping it now, after all this time, huh? And we wonder why we have such a problem with Mad Cow Disease and contaminated food in this country.
