America's Babies Are Still Starving

Joe Biden’s handlers refuse to tell the public when Biden was briefed on the baby formula shortage.

79-year-old Joe Biden is clueless so even if he was briefed, it’s not like he would remember or even know how to solve the problem.

Biden has spent nearly 50 years in government and the only thing he has successfully done is make money by selling his public office to the highest bidder.

Biden on Wednesday got called out for his lies related to the baby formula crisis:

Reporter: Why didn't you move quicker on the baby formula shortage?

Biden: "I don't think anyone anticipated the impact of the shutdown of Abbott facility."

Reporter: "Didn't the CEOs just tell you they understood it would have a very big impact?"

Biden:"They did but I didn't"

Isn't the US right wing position that a free market will solve all problems and that the smaller the government the better?

If so why should your government get involved?

@ninalanyon Well, I looked a little further into this. It turns out that the formula business is close to a state sponsored monopoly and the biggest supplier just closed a factory because of hygiene worries after a couple of babies died. Simply having more suppliers would help but a lot of the formula is supplied as part of a welfare program. States award contracts to a small number of companies. So the supply chain is fragile.

@ninalanyon And, if you look further you would find that the sick babies did not get sick from formula from this plant. But, the FDA kept the plant closed. Then MONTHS later, when the shit hit the fan, the FDA says, OK, open up, make more formula. It takes two months to fire up production.

Bureaucrats never bothered to look at the impact of their decisions.
These kinds of screw ups are typical of Biden's Administration. Ignoring his screw ups is typical of the left propaganda wing - as a result, left wing folks like you don't really know what is going on.

@Budwick Sothe FDA works properly when there is a Republican president? You seem to think that I was arguing against you. My second comment was pointing out that you are right, government involvement in this case does seem to have been an aggravating factor, but states as well as not just the federal government.
