Meat Shortages Are Coming Unless Congress Breaks up the Highly Centralized System It Created - Foundation for Economic Education

Meat Shortages Are Coming Unless Congress Breaks up the Highly Centralized System It Created

Representative Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky) is gaining bipartisan support for his PRIME Act, which stands for Processing Revival and Intrastate Meat Exemption Act. The bill has been sitting in the House and the Senate for nearly a year, meaning it could be fast tracked to President Donald Trump if the political will is there.

The legislation lifts restrictions on over 1,000 mom-and-pop meat processing plants that aren't allowed to supply restaurants, schools, hotels, and the like. Yes, you read that right. The American people are dependent on a few big businesses that enjoy great advantages thanks to regulation.

...

Ostensibly, the rules are written to protect the consumer, but in reality, they just protect the large corporations against competition.

The leftist regulatory state is the best thing that ever happened for big corporations, but the worst thing to happen to the rest of us.

No... This is a result of "Politicians Taking Money From Lobbyist".... Period.... and pushing Bull**** bills over on a generally "ill informed and wide spectrum of uneducated public"... This is what we get when people VOTE based Upon " being contained into gerrymandered zones and fed drama antics via Talk Radio and TV political ad's based upon who can launch and promote the most vile of attacks on the other".

That's the purpose of government regulation - to give the legislature and bureaucrats political favors to sell to the highest bidder. It's a feature of the leftist regulatory state, not a bug.
