Crowder: My cousin in Canada lost vision in one eye because of the massive wait lists in Canada

Three years to get a family doctor, one lady needed surgery for a circulatory problem, had to wait so long that she lost both legs, his cousin loses function in one eye because of the wait etc.

Of course, here Crowder goes back to Canada with hidden cameras to see just how bad the waits are.

Stimulus disaster! Wasteful and crony lined spending becoming public.

It is like we said before, government stimulus does not work well because the momey is spent for political reasons and not economic ones. Also the ones who get the most money out of government money are government employees who do not create wealth and as far as the economy is concerned are unproductive workers.

GAO: FDA can’t estimate its own budget needs

WASHINGTON (AP) – The Food and Drug Administration—which has struggled to fulfill its mission of regulating food, drugs and other consumer goods that make up nearly a quarter of the U.S. economy—does not have the expertise to forecast its own budget needs, according to congressional investigators.

While many lawmakers and consumer advocates have long complained that the agency lacks the staff and equipment to accomplish its mission, the Government Accountability Office says the agency doesn’t even have “the data to develop a complete and reliable estimate of the resources it needs.”
