And putting tarrifs on all the chinese would be a lot of tarrifs.

Yeah...

We. Get. It.

But do you get why its bad to have a perjur on the supreme court?

I agree, Ford is lying.

Nothing to do with Ford, he lied under oath on other occasions, and he's going down because of that.

No he didn't.

You just didn't like his answers.

We're back to ford?

So what's everyone feelings on the FDA/USDA?

I think we shouldn't regulate the drugs except for manufacturing safety or quality. They don't even need to be safe to take, just not full of toxic poisons from the manufacturing process. Everything should be legal. If people wan't mercury tablets laced with opium, they should have mercury tablets laced with opium, they should just be clearly labeled as such and not contain more than the background amount of ecoli.

I also don't think we should patent drugs anymore. Manufacturers shouldn't win patents and lotteries to make X amount of drugs, they should win because they can make and distribute drugs the most efficiently, effectively, and safely, for everyone + the environment.

If you wan't to drive innovation give grants to the scientists directly to release their discoveries to the public for free once they've done their research, make it worth their while with public funding if you want, but probably the government shouldn't even be doing or regulating that, maybe just charities and NPOs. Make it extragovern-mental.

I heard the FDA/USDA raped a girl back in 1982.

I don't like them :(

I blame them for the Bhopal disaster. That was 1984 though.

(Yes I know it was overseas and Dow Chemical did not own them at the time, but they let American's buy and use pesticides from overseas!).

prove it without linking an article that describes one and why its kind of a lie... if you dont believe it enough.

he has not lied under oath just get over it lol the guy is squeaky clean.
