Joe Pitts: “I would submit this is symbolic with the state of regulation in Washington.”

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.

The jurisdictional grab serves only to shield catfish farmers against competition at the expense of U.S. consumers.

Both the FDA and the General Accountability Office agree that there is no food safety justification for this regulatory divide.

Explicitly creating a program exclusively for catfish seems to be unnecessary, and it directs resources away from high-risk foods.
