Good thing he sent billions of US taxpayers money to Ukraine The administration just won’t say when they first learned of this problem, for obvious reasons.

Biden invokes Defense Production Act to address nationwide shortage of baby formulaEmploying the 1950 Act would prioritize key ingredients for formula production and compel suppliers to provide the needed resources to manufacturers. Two days ago this admin was asked why they haven't taken this step and they responded it wasn't an option. What changed ? Why is this guy at least 3 months late to everything ?

Baby formula shortage: Biden invokes Defense Production Act to bolster baby formula productionJUST IN: President Joe Biden invoked the Defense Production Act to speed the production of infant formula and authorized flights to import supply from overseas. Doesn’t mean anything. All optics. The manufacturer’s aren’t versed in the DPA and you can only do 24/7. Capacity issues, hoarding and a forced shutdown are the root cause. What a joke.

Always fascinating how long the government will allow suffering to happen before actions..the government is broken and isn't worked for the people. So this answers the question by those who support Biden that asked what the president was suppose to do - damn he is slow to talk, slow to walk and slow to act. They have been sittint around doing nothing for weeks... IncompetencePureIncompetence

Biden invokes Defense Production Act to bolster baby formula productionPresident Joe Biden has invoked the Defense Production Act to speed production of infant formula and has authorized flights to import supply from overseas. FOX13 After reading the article you realize how bad this sounds right? We shut down a manufacturer even though there was no fault found and we are fast tracking a foreign manufacturer that we have to figure out how to regulate. Who is at fault here? Import supplies from overseas? I read an article 2 days ago that said 'Don't get your formula from other countries, it's too risky'...🤣 Also, May 13 Jen Psaki said production of baby formula was too specialized to use the defense production act. 🤔 Must've figured it out. More likely they hadn't thought about it until the question was asked...🤣
