LAT: FDA needs more moolah

The LAT argued yesterday that the FDA needs $275 million more, even if it hasn't asked for it. Bureaucracies always need more. It's in their DNA. And somebody or some newspaper always wants them to do more, which is why government always gets bigger, never smaller.

The FDA does some good things, and those things ought to be financed. But not everything they do is good, or done well, even if well intended.
