The Republicans did this to you decades ago

I think Saint Ronnie the Raygun was president, at the time.

In a fit of libertarian cruelty, they liberated the snake oil market from FDA supervision.

They don't have to prove anything to anybody in order to market "supplements" with fantastic claims, so long as they include the super fast talking disclaimer nobody hears or wants to hear and don't actually poison you.

Testing finds many herbal supplements don't contain what the label says; fillers, not herbs

Not that it would make a difference, but 80% of the products tested were not even the right stuff.

The Republican Party has two mottoes and can't decide which it likes better.

"There's a sucker born every minute" and "Never give a sucker an even break."
