Man...
The generic drug industry tired of waiting for Congress to fully finance the F.D.A.’s generic drug office and this year proposed providing the agency with $299 million in annual fees (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/13/science/13drug.html?pagewanted=all) to finance the review process.

Take the money..no strings attached..get it done.

Or, rearrange the FDA's priorities so they can allocate their resources to these types of (important!) issues instead of regulating things they specifically didn't regulate in the past (supplements, etc.)

Oops...political...sorry, my bad
