Limit the Agriculture Department's role by statute
What the document says“Congress must limit the USDA’s role.”
The chapter says a proper mission would make the department's primary focus agriculture and would clarify that its client is the American people in general rather than a subset of interests such as farmers, meatpackers or environmental groups. It says the department should remove obstacles to food production rather than try to shape the economy.
What the document actually says“Congress must limit the USDA’s role.”
That sentence, in plain words
Congress must cut back what this department does.
What this is about
This department handles farming and food. The book says it does far too much. It says Congress should narrow its job by law.
