In 2016, an editorial in the Wall Street Journal was in favor of, “repealing the notorious catfish program that has become a byword for Washington waste and protectionism? This should be an easy call.” Why would a federal government program to inspect catfish be considered an example of protectionism? If repealing the program is “an easy call,” as the editorial asserts, why was the program still in place in 2017, more than a year after the editorial was published?
