> drug manufacturers pay most of the FDA budget. That’s by design Do you happen to know what law congress passed or otherwise how this became "by design"? News to me. Doesn't the government have enough money to fund these kind of public agencies? Is this true of others too? Does the USDA get funded by farmers too? And am I the only one that sees potential conflict of interest that would lead to threats to public safety arising from this "design" you speak of?
