<p>The current U.S. government <strong><a href="https://docs.house.gov/billsthisweek/20241216/CR.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Continuing Resolution spending bill</a></strong> is filled with pork. And molasses.</p>

<p>On page 25 (of 1,547) we have THREE MILLION DOLLARS earmarked for molasses inspections.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>&#8230;the Secretary shall use $3,000,000 to carry out regular testing for the purposes of verifying and validating the methodology and protocols of the inspection of molasses at any United States ports of entry, including whether the molasses meets each statutory requirement without the use of additives or blending, relevant definitional explanatory notes, and each property typical of molasses in the United States as directed in <strong><a href="https://www.congress.gov/congressional-report/118th-congress/senate-report/193" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Senate Report 118–193</a></strong>.</p>
</blockquote>



<p>We could be wrong, but molasses testing by the Federal Government probably isn&#8217;t vital to keeping the country running, which is what a Continuing Resolution bill is supposed to address.</p>
