Red Tape Madness
There probably isn’t a better example of the madness inherent in government bureaucracy than this article.
HUNDREDS of tons of British food aid shipped to America for starving Hurricane Katrina survivors is to be burned.
US red tape is stopping it from reaching hungry evacuees.
Instead tons of the badly needed Nato ration packs, the same as those eaten by British troops in Iraq, has been condemned as unfit for human consumption.
It is this kind of bureaucratic bungling, rather than racism, that led to the deplorable conditions at the Superdome and the Convention Center in New Orleans. That this kind of insanity still goes on at this point demonstrates the incompetence of centralized power. One has to ask where is the executive order from the president over-ruling this stupid FDA action? Is everybody just asleep at the White House? Whole story here.
