Abstract: The United States Department of Agriculture has become a symbol of public dissatisfaction with the federal government because of a suspicion that taxpayers are paying more for fewer, less efficient services. The image of USDA as an inefficient and unresponsive organization is epitomized by the title of a recent article in Readers' Digest, "USDA: A Bureaucracy Out of Control."
