No Part Of The Economy Is Safe When The Legislature Is In Session.

McCain bill threatens access to vitamins and supplements

Senator John McCain (R-Arizona) has introduced a new bill called The Dietary Supplement Safety Act (DSSA) of 2010 (S. 3002), that, if enacted, would severely curtail free access to dietary supplements. Cosponsored by Senator Byron Dorgan (D-North Dakota), the bill would essentially give the FDA full control over the supplement industry.

Evidently there are still parts of the economy that are not run by the government. A bipartisan committee (democrat and republican) wants to change that oversight. The section of the economy they want to destroy via government regulation, is the food supplement (vitamins) industry. They want the FDA to oversee and regulate the manufacture and sale of vitamins.

Maybe they figure that the Health Care Deform bill is failing because it tries to take over too much all at once and the public and see it as the naked grab for power that it really is. So some senators seem to think that a smaller, more piecemeal approach will work better. So some senators think that rather than killing the economy all at once with the Health Care Deform bill (a knife to the heart) they will kill it slowly with regulation (the death of 1,000 cuts).
