Biden Admin’s Incompetence Leads to Black Market for Baby Formula
13 May 2022

(Headline USA) President Joe Biden tried to recover from his administration’s disastrous response to a nationwide baby formula shortage Thursday that has forced frenzied parents into online groups to swap and sell to each other to keep their babies fed.
The president discussed with executives from Gerber and Reckitt how they could increase production and how his administration could prevent causing more harm, and talked with leaders from Walmart and Target about how to restock shelves and address regional disparities in access to formula, the White House said.
In what has become a typical response from the White House to problems it created, blame was shifted to other sources. The administration plans to monitor possible price gouging and work with trading partners in Mexico, Chile, Ireland and the Netherlands on imports, even though 98% of baby formula is domestically made.
The problem is the result of supply chain disruptions that the Biden administration has been unable to solve and a safety recall, and has had a cascade of effects: Retailers are limiting what customers can buy, and doctors and health workers are urging parents to contact food banks or physicians’ offices, in addition to warning against watering down formula to stretch supplies or using online DIY recipes.

Dr. Navneet Hundal, a pediatric gastroenterologist at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, said she and other pediatricians have been grappling with the formula shortage for months. Formula companies have stopped giving out samples that she could pass on to parents, she said. She advises new parents to talk to their pediatricians to see if there are other brands of formula that they can safely give their newborns.
On Tuesday, the FDA said it was working with U.S. manufacturers to increase their output and streamline paperwork to allow more imports.


Comment:
We all know Dems support abortion on demand, Schumer proved it with his failed Abortion Bill. Progressive Maoist/DSA Democrats consider your starving babies as post birth abortions and the method of abortion is starvation. Pretty easy to see the correlation for anyone who can think logically.
This administrative incompetence is punctuated by how Biden and his handlers choose their appointees.
As long as all the boxes are checked their appointees are chosen. It's not experience that this regime requires.
The proof in the matter is the supply side shortages, high fuel prices including food shortages and now in this particular case, shutting down the primary manufacturer of Baby formula without considering the results, the starving of America's babies.

Imagine being so devoid of material or smears that you have to resort to attacking the President for shortages of supplies - which we've had since COVID 2020 when Toilet Paper and Paper Towels were empty on store shelves.

You know better. Your just a contrarian and a shit poker. Everything you post is devoid of actual discussion, it's always just prodding comments designed to automatically disagree in an attempt to piss someone off.
 
Capitalism has failed yet again...So, now you expect a govt. to supply what the capitalist can't.
Just something else to whine about. They only want government in their lives when it benefits them otherwise they don't think government should be anywhere near us.
 

it's his fault.

Biden does not run Abbott Labs. They allowed their plant to be contaminated and 2 babies died as a result. You seem to be saying that is okay. We can thank big oil for high oil prices. The problem with baby formula is the same problem in too many industries in this country. We have oligopolies and as a result, there is little or no competition.

Where have you been? I've have pointed out the faults and incompetence of the 46th president since day one.

But his toadies run the FDA and they closed down all plants rather than the one plant found contaminated.
 
I wouldn't be surprised to hear Biden's son and brother have the black market on formula all wrapped up. Crooked family, crooked party.

U.S. policy also restricts the importation of formula that does meet FDA requirements. At high volumes, the tax on formula imports can exceed 17 percent. And under President Donald Trump, the U.S. entered into a new North American trade agreement that actively discourages formula imports from our largest trading partner, Canada.

and
In brief: Demand for formula surged as parents hoarded in 2020; then demand fell, leading suppliers to cut back production through 2021; and now, with more new mothers demanding more formula in 2022, orders are surging faster than supply is recovering.
and

The Biden administration is focused on expanding domestic manufacturing of formula to meet families’ needs. But the bigger problem is our trade policy. “The U.S. is a captive market for domestic dairy producers like Abbott, and during times of crisis, the lack of alternative supplies becomes a pretty big problem,” Scott Lincicome, the director of general economics and trade for the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank, told me.



We want everything made in the USA.
