It seems illogical that the USDA would be given the exclusive authority to oversee and regulate catfish only while the FDA regulates all other seafood.
Explicitly creating a program exclusively for catfish seems to be unnecessary, and it directs resources away from high-risk foods.
Because of the Affordable Care Act, now over 20 million people in this country who were in that situation literally overnight are no longer in that situation.
It is unfortunate that we have a Congress of the United States, the majority parties that want to just tear down this law.
