Bush Administration Policy Why is Food and Drug FAILING Blog 8 of 8
to protect the public’s health
Mistakes or omissions by the FDA have caused serious physical and mental problems to the public and have even been fatal in many cases. .Why is the Food and Drug so inept?
Most Bush appointments come from the industry that is being regulated or inspected. Critics question the objectivity of these people. This source of appointments may well set up a conflict of interest for the appointee.
Bush administration thinking is that government oversight is bad. In many areas that effect the public the Bush policy is to let the industry police and/ or inspect itself. Those areas that have government regulation are so under funded and under manned that they can not accomplish their mission. The personnel that is in charge is a believer in this approach. In the case of consumer protection of toys the person in charge tried to reject additional funds and personnel to help the agency’s do its supposed job.
