Well, we're pretty unhealthy. These agencies don't seem to have been very successful at making us healthy. Probably time to try another approach.

You don't start burning things when you only have a concept of a plan for what comes next.

This is cutting off your head to cure a migraine.

It is more like getting rid of the quacks to look for other cures. While success is not guaranteed it has been proven by now that the current approach does not lead to desirable results.

By the way, it is quite remarkable how much resistance there is to change in the supposedly 'progressive' opposition to Trump. Those who want to keep things the way they are tend to be called 'conservative' while those who want to shake up things - to make them better or just to change them for change's sake - are called 'progressive'. It looks like the 'progressives' of old have turned into 'conservatives' while the 'conservatives' have taken on more 'progressive' characteristics. This goes to show that party labels and affiliations only go so far when it comes to finding out who stands where and that the silly 'left' vs 'right' dichotomy is decidedly useless to separate 'good' from 'bad', no matter where you consider yourself to stand in this division.

Or: imagine how much worse it would be had we never had these agencies?

You don't fix public health by shooting it in the head
