USDA is slow!

Good morning fellow BPer's! I'm waiting to close on a house that I'm selling and have been waiting since January 8th. We've had to make several extensions along the way do to USDA and their checks, lack of communication and non existent ETA's. Meanwhile, I'm still making payments on a vacant house, the buyers forfeit $3,000 of their earnest money to aid me and everybody is at the mercy of the USDA including the buyers lender!  I understand that they're the government, but are they possibly the mob too? What on earth if anything can I do? It baffles me how much these people can screw with others lives and get away with it!  I've read all of the negative reviews on Zillow with regards to USDA and I gotta tell you, as a flipper and my Wife becoming my RE Agent, I'm not entirely sure that I ever want to work with a buyer using USDA! Anybody have a similar story?
