This only sounds reasonable until you think about it for 2 seconds. Do you really want the Senate and Congress to have to learn about and try to legislate the details of chemistry, medicine, finance, engineering, etc, rather than delegating figuring out the details of tasks like ā€œmake the food safeā€ or ā€œmake the water cleanā€ to scientists and other experts at agencies?
