Do you think the FDA has too much power?

So the FDA needs a larger budget then? Or do you think there is some other reason why manpower is constrained. What type of workers does the FDA need to help improve its efficiency (rather than supplementing a bureaucracy?) Usually when we talk about power we mean legal power, but you bring up an interesting point with budgetary power. 

Since when did the FDA need more legal power than mandating medical or supplemental products ? 

Like any highly technical organization the FDA needs more scientists and their assistants ...

Legal power as in power given to them from a legislature. That is what legal power means. Not legislative (as in law making) power. My question pertained to specifics. What does the FDA, according to your knowledge, need that they don't have now?
