I thought you guys already had an agency that looks after food safety...

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama wants to create a new government agency dedicated to keeping the nation's food safe.

The proposal in the president's budget released Monday comes after outbreaks of illnesses linked to chicken, eggs, peanuts and cantaloupe in recent years. More than a dozen federal agencies oversee food safety, and consumer advocates have long called for bringing all those functions together in a single home.

Yes, we have several overlapping food security bureaucracies, but govt workers = democrat votes. Besides, who's against safe food for the children?

An old fashion 20/20 investigation for the existing agency would be nice. Maybe a hidden camera or several in the offices to see what all these folks do. Then ask the dimmercats what the new agency is intended to do and who is going to pay for the huge office complex that will house them. What are the differences going to be.

{sarcasm} this is a great idea.. one agency at the top to link all the others together so we can respond to man made food disasters before they happen.. something big like homeland security ,.. then if a muslim wants to import a bomb in a cow,. it won't be put through all those pesky inspections as it is Hala meat... {End sarcasm}
