Democrats Want New Food Safety Agency

The AP reports on a E. coli lettuce scare :
The outbreaks have sparked demands to create a new federal agency in charge of food safety. Sens. Charles Schumer and
Hillary Rodham Clinton, both New York Democrats, are sponsoring legislation authored by Sen. Richard Durbin , D-Ill., to create the unified Food Safety Agency.

"This recent outbreak must be a wake-up call to get our food safety house in order, because right now it's in pure disarray," Schumer said at his Manhattan office. "We need to have one agency take charge to ensure the next outbreak isn't far worse."
To some government is a religion.Every problem must be solved by the mystical human leaders financed by coercion.No word yet on whether Schumer and gang have heard about the great service at the U.S. Post Office,FEMA,and Medicaid.
