Joshua Sewell, director of research and policy at Taxpayers for Common Sense, wrote in an article published by the American Enterprise Institute on Wednesday that Congress should not approve an increase in the Commodity Credit Corporation Charter Act’s $30 billion borrowing limit or otherwise expand the secretary of agriculture’s discretionary authority.
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins has called for an increase and has shown an interest in increasing the authority.
Sewell wrote,
“Instead, Congress should work to reclaim its primacy over spending. Only that would put federal agricultural policy on a more stable footing and make it accountable to American taxpayers.”
