Comments on: FDA Execs Reap Lavish Bonuses

Agency Criticized As "Broken," But FDA Executives Still Make Big Bank

[beehive21-2009]

This story is trying to get you to focus on the little guy ,instead of the top .Some one or thing is manipulating your thought ? Perhaps to get your mind off Carl Rove,whom today told the people of the USA to go to Hell.No one is above the Law.

This whole country has become an embarrassment.

This report is accurate and correct, the only problem is that it leaves out the fact that this is occuring at all levels of management throughout FDA. The employees doing the real work are overlooked and not compensated where the managers and their friends and favorites are rewarded with big bonuses in money and retention awards. In some offices FDA LAWYERS hire their friends also LAWYERS over more qualified individuals who have far more experience and could do a much better job that is where the real danger to public health lies.

As a retired Marine, I am not blind to the facts of waste and fraud towards the american peoples money. This is not someting that just happened. This kind of theft of our Tax dollars has been going on for many years. Maybe it''s time for the GAO to step in and punish these thieves.ASAP

Wow... these boards are really turning into a cesspool. First right wing chickenhawk lunatics, then right wingers posing as libs to stir up s**t and now right wing Jesus freaks. Can these discussions get any more hysterical?

"They''ve done such a miserable job these last two years, I think they should leave! Not get bonuses of $40,000 [to] $50,000!" Stupak said. "Good grief."

The pot calling the kettle black.

Strong Winds Hamper Calif. Fire Efforts? We have fires, floods, tornadoes, crime and a bad economy, gas prices food prices no jobs losing of homes? Sounds a bit like Pharaoh saying no to God when Moses told him about the Lord?
Maybe, if we wanted a healthier better America we should turn to God to heal our land? Just think? It happened another time in the annuals of history? Yeah God was going to destroy this place called Nineveh and the people repented and God spared them. We could do this in America?

This article has nothing to do with religion, you freaks.

Also
Joh 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Your report only went to reinforce the Big Government=Big Waste as one commenter above pointed out. What your report failed to examine is that the executives were doing exactly what they were supposed to be doing. Getting government off the backs of the food and drug companies. This administration entered office with one goal in mind. Break government and let business "police" itself. We are now seeing that business will just screw the public every chance it gets while our government looks the other way. It is succeeding with the help of reports such as this. Your report basically said, "See, government is not working. We should eliminate even more oversite." It is as if it were a self fulfilling prophecy. How much better can the republican party have it with CBS providing such sham reporting. Do your job.

The real outrage is that people are not supporting Congress in its oversite responsibilities. The administration, via signing statements, ignores the law.

Posted by Providence_6 at 09:23 PM : Jul 10, 2008----Excellent post my friend. You are correct!....Revelation 21:6-7,...And he said unto me, It is done, I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely, 7- He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son...... 1 John 5:5,...Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

No $hit, huh?

Conservatives/Republicans are CROOKS. When will the American people get it?

Voting for a Republican is voting for a crook picking your pocket.

Wake up America!

BIG GOVERNMENT = BIG WASTE

[Marie Zarankevich]

Hey, man, I thought we were all in this together! -- Message here is, if you are at the bottom of the heap, ya better get out of the way, cause there''s more comin'' down. -- That ''All in the Same Boat'' thing just don''t float. -- I mean, would YOU pass up a big bonus right now? -- Would you?

[highlander60]

It seems like a day does''nt go by without hearing about the FLEECING in this country that goes on, not to mention the stuff we don''t hear about! Even more baffeling is that no matter how BLANTLY WRONG it is, NOTHING is EVER done about it on any scale. Yet, the Fleecing continues. How much longer?

[sgtrds10-4]

the whole Bush criminal family/administration stinks of corruption from the top to the bottom.

[oneworldusa]

Gee, I might only get a $10,500 bonus next year. Why are government agencies handing out bonuses? I thought the budget was awry the last few years. I lost not one but 2 govt agency jobs due to
''budget shortfall'' cutbacks and I never got any kind of bonuses at all there. Just the same rhetoric, ''you are at the top of your payscale, so there is no raise for you''.

The FDA has continually allowed drugs to be pushed on the market so pharm can sell its newly patented products at ridiculous prices at the expense of the pocketbooks and health/lives of consumers.

America, I fear the only way to correct the wrongs that have been going on in government may be revolution. The working people have been supressed too long and going backwards. I''m not talking about the McMansion folks who can''t afford their mortgages because they had to have 5,000 feet of living space, I''m talking about responsible, hard-working Americans who keep being screwed to the wall by corporate and government policy.

[highlander60]

WOW!!!

The real outrage is that congress is neglecting its duties of oversight. These bonuses were approved by congress. The FDA was created by congress. Yet a congressman is surprised to learn of this. Thats the outrage. This congress man is suppose to Know what the hell is going on yet he is surprised. Between congress the president and the supreme court there are 545 people in charge of our government thats it. If there is anything wrong with our government it is their fault. "I didn''t know" just does not cut it.
