Two members of the House Financial Services Committee are offended - offended - by a real-time display of the national debt clock during their deliberations. It's time to play Name That Party!
If you guessed Democratics, step right up and collect your prize:
California Rep. Maxine Waters and Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison both issued complaints about the displays. “Clearly it is a political prop designed to message ideologically,” Ellison said.
Apparently, they don't like to be reminded of the impacts of their actions. Ms."What Ethics Problem?" Waters asked that display of the updates be turned off during Democrat speaking times.
And Barky's FDA is going after Diamond Foods for making claims, supported by some 35 peer-reviewed scientific papers, that eating walnuts improves vascular health and may therefore reduce heart attack risk. FDA sent Diamond a letter stating that their walnut products are "new drugs and may not be legally marketed in the United States without an approved new drug application."
The agency even threatened Diamond with “seizure” if it failed to comply.
Walnuts are apparently an insidious new tactic by Republicans to poison unsuspecting Americans.
As with the debt clock, it seems that Republicans are hell-bent on providing information to citizens in direct contravention to Democrat policies aimed at expanding the pool of low-information voters.
