"Absolutely- I voted against HR 7790 bc it has no impact on the current crisis and reward bad agency behavior. This one-page bill is just a $28M increase for FDA salaries. Thats it. If baby formula shortage was caused by an underfunded FDA, this would help. But it wasnt. (1/3) twitter.com/zads77/status/"Read on Twitter

"The formula shortage was due to bureaucratic dithering at FDA on reopening Abbotts Sturgis facility, and exacerbated by protectionist import policies + market inflexibility due to WIC single-source contracts. I voted in support of HR 7791, which addresses latter 2 issues. (2/3)"Read on Twitter"Read on Twitter
"Finally, apart from not doing anything to solve current crisis, HR 7790 would be rewarding an agency that is performing its mission poorly with more money without connecting the funds requested to better achieving the mission. The moral hazard is self-evident. (3/3)"Read on Twitter"Read on Twitter
