And this is coming from one of the board’s biggest cynics. What’s actually likely going on is they have not one ***** clue about what they are doing and what true leadership is. They care. The problem is the hubris and blind ignorance that comes with the caring. The country is in a complete s storm right now, but at the very least no one is getting their feelings hurt.

TSOL Posted May 13, 2022 Posted May 13, 2022 Our dollar is just being devalued the more debt our country goes into. And now everyone is looking at Rand Paul like he is the devil for trying to be fiscally responsible. While the Biden administration and the main stream media pour fuel on the fire in Ukraine. Instead of negotiating peace just dump a massive amount of American made and taxpayer paid for weapons of war into eastern Europe.

The defense contractors are private companies with tentacles that reach deep into both sides of the aisle in corrupt Washington. You can’t simply end a war in Afghanistan without there being consequences to an industry that’s been cashing in for two decades. So presto….a new war pops up out of nowhere…and go figure, more military hardware suddenly needs to be sold. Amazing how that works! 1

His 2018 budget plans include slashing the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) funding by a whopping $4.7 billion. This will bring the agency’s budget down to a total of about $17.9 billion, representing a 21 percent cut compared to the previous fiscal year. Budget cuts will affect a number of USDA’s programs, including food safety and international food aid--both of which are lumped into what’s been categorized as “discretionary” spending. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)--which controls the overwhelming majority of food inspections in the U.S., is expected to experience an 18 percent budget reduction. https://www.food-safety.com/articles/5228-trumpe28099s-budget-cuts-leave-food-safety-on-back-burner Just like lack of PPE in national reserve , Biden is playing catch up again to the damage done

It's May 2022. And with mid-term election season and primaries kicking off the statute of limitations on blaming the previous administration has officially expired. Contact U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Thomas J. Vilsack with questions. https://www.usda.gov/our-agency/about-usda/our-secretary For some clue on why everything is getting FUBAR'd please refer to his official bio. To quote one gem. "Secretary Vilsack continues to take bold, historic action to reduce barriers to access for historically under-served communities. By working to ensure all aspects of civil rights and equity are integrated, USDA is rooting out generations of systemic racism and building systems and programs inclusive of all USDA employees and customers." What that means in terms of action to get more and safer food to Americans I haven't a clue. But the statement checks all the social score boxes in the pretend, do nothing, know nothing fantasy world this administration lives in. 1

And therefore exempted those products from the final arrangement? That seems like a weak attempt at cause and effect given the amount of time between the two events. 1
