Better question, why not consolidate all of the inspection done by the Agriculture department UNDER ONE UMBRELLA, rather than creating yet another agency that simply does the job of other agencies?
Why not? Money, I’m sure. More politically appointed positions that the next president can fill.
Liberals, always the solution ‘more government’ rather than efficient government.
Bad enough that all of the above are unaccountable executive-branch agencies.
Thats actually what is being proposed: a consolidation of existing functions, which are pretty spread out.
The problem is putting it into HHS. It should be in Ag for a variety of practical and political reasons.
