If Trump Wasn't President, He'd Be Arrested in Most States for Price-Gouging in a Time of Crisis.

Trump allowing Feds to transfered life-saving medical equipment to the private sector to then be re-sold at a higher price to the States.

Yes, you read that correctly. [b]YOUR[/b] taxpayer dollars were used to purchase life-saving equipment now sitting in federal stockpiles. And now Trump is transfering that equipment to the private sector who are marking it up before selling it to the States.

Happens every day, you can get that information on government equipment being sold from the GSA. Wanna buy a locomotive?

Common sense is that you don't sell stuff that FEMA could use.

@beckyromero Most government bureaucracies do not communicate among themselves, a typical problem with over bloated government we have now. And a lot of the stuff does not have a name, just a number or a purchase document, no idea of what it is inside the crate. I know a fellow in Sanford that bought a crate at a government auction, turned out it was a jeep......in a million pieces. He sold it for scrap, made a nice bundle

Poor communications, yes. Too much red tape and too many bureaucrats.

And not enough people with the right attitude to kick-butt and get the job done.

@beckyromero "I'm from the government and I'm here to help." Scary, is it not?

It's poor communications, inefficency, red tape, etc.

Read the minority report's conclusions on the Pearl Harbor Attack.

Many of the findings can apply to 9/11 and today's coronavirus mismanagement.

We still are not learning from history's mistakes.
