Texas Agriculture Sid Miller criticized the federal government’s response to screwworm as “slow, bureaucratic, and [an] incomplete response”
“It’s the most frustrating thing I’ve run up against in my 12 years as Ag Commissioner,” Miller said. “We have the ability to shut that and eradicate that screwworm. We can do it in about 60 days. USDA has the tools and the knowledge to do it.”
Maybe "USDA had" is the correct tense.
You wanted small government, now you have it.
But don't worry, market forces will take care of everything!
