Do you think the FDA has too much power?

You have no idea how painful the approval of new drugs is here. A lot of papers, and a bunch of stupid old people with power are always in the way with cobservative thinking and incompetence.

As I've stated in a previous post, it seems that people who've lived in other countries under far more lenient governments can appreciate some of this government "overreach". Americans  complain about things such as high gas prices (even though it's far less here than anywhere else in the world).
