But think about all the jobs the government by created running that registry, prompting the drug makers to formulate and manufacture bogus decongestants and then eventually studying that those bogus decongestants were in fact bogus.

The "registry" is signing your name on a sheet of paper on a clipboard - less than 1% more work for the pharmacy employee's overall job, approximately 0 new jobs created.
