Remember how the USDA said that NAIS would be mandatory by 2009. Then there was a hew and cry against NAIS so they changed it to NAIS would be voluntary… Well now they’re saying it will be mandatory again unless we voluntarily signup. Mafia style they are.
In an interview with Meatingplace.com during a two-day swing through Texas this week to visit meat and poultry processing plants, Secretary of Agriculture Ed Schafer said he prefers not to make NAIS mandatory but warned it could happen if not enough producers sign up voluntarily.

Trust me, their lips are moving…
Hat tip to Darol.
Logically, the only way NAIS will work, (if it really were about tracking disease, which we know it isn’t) is to make it mandatory so that the USDA could know the whereabouts of every last livestock animal in the USA, and those coming in from Mexico and Canada on a continuous 24/7 basis, but we know that ain’t likely, animals escape, illegals bring animals over with them, some folks just will not keep track, so the idea is impossible, but……….
NAIS, that old mad NAIS, just keeps steam-rolling along!

Voluntary will become mandatory if enough people don’t sign up? …here we go again…We are not free. I defy anyone to counter that…we are not free.
We will never be free if we
ask them to stop…we need to TELL them to stop and defund these idiots. Shut down Washington D.C. it IS the problem.
When we have unelected blowhards making edicts, regulations and in general stealing our rights as a routine part of “just doing their job” we should expect more tightening of the thumbscrews done in the name of protecting us.
The original idea of government in this country did not include the massive layers of bureacracy. That is how the bad stuff gets done…we can’t “fire” the idiots. Not that many people pay attention and fire the elected idiots as often as they should either.
Ask your candidates how much they are going to REDUCE government, if they give a non answer vote for someone who will.
This Secretary of Agriculture is appointed, his job is to waste money…it appears he is good at it. I guess they need more “criminals” to fill their prisons? I get top bunk, called it!
