The first was exactly my point. I think the FDA aren't efficient at their goals for a multitude of reasons. They are a monopoly. They are partly inefficient because command control regulations are inefficient. They have conflicting goals. They are corruptible, as are all authorities. So on, so on. I don't think feeding them more money will fix their problems. It will likely be wasted to hire the wrong people. Meanwhile, for as much "good" the FDA does there is plenty of harm to science and the advancement of medicine in general. 

There's way too much fluff in your response ... No need to focus on the politics.

Hiring Wrong people ? The only people that they do ever hire for their technical staff are a minimum of undergraduate biologists and chemists. 

The FDA does practically only one thing and it is the regulation of health products so what exactly do they have to do with the advancement of medicine ?
