Today's Deregualtion Tidbit

In the news today...

The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced Sunday that a California
meatpacking company had launched the recall of 135 million pounds of beef -- the
largest meat recall in U.S. history -- following questions about the company's
treatment of cattle that were slaughtered even though they could not stand up.


Sure it sounds like just an ordinary case of a rotten apple in the business world, but wait it gets better. This rotten apple from the business world sold 37 million pounds of possibly contaminated meat to the USDA before being caught and shut down. I know I know lets cut the budget for the USDA and deregualte the industry some more. That'll solve this issue!
