This just reads like corporate / egg farm welfare. Shouldn't an appropriately running market be picking up the tab for in their own self interest?

> In its plan, the USDA said it would spend up to half a billion dollars boosting bio-safety precautions at egg farms.

Seems like just paying for this outright means farms won't have to bother, or even bother to keep up with those precautions because the feds will come running again the next time it happens.
