    So you are blaming Biden for a recall on baby food formula. "Less than two months after a baby formula recall, retailers are reporting shortages with some stores rationing sales. Nearly 30% of popular baby formula brands may be sold out at retailers across the U.S., according to an analysis by Datasembly, which assessed supplies at more than 11,000 stores."

    I described in my post the actions of Government. Not the actions of Biden per se. You may choose to make everything about a false dichotomy. I do not.

    That being said. Fauci is currently Biden's man. Is he not?

    Racial slurs used to be cute are not cute. They are offensive.

    Trump already blamed everything on Obama, now it's Trump's turned to be blamed

    the reality is, the company had to do a recall, that is on them, not Biden

    Capitalism doesn't always get it right

    that said, unless we see panic buying, should be fine

    That was the first thought that popped into my head, but I decided not to say it out loud because SURE AS MILK, FreshAir will be on saying breastfeeding violates a woman's body.

    Walgreens loves to make people come back multiple times for what they otherwise would have gotten in a single visit. Go elsewhere. Always.

    That said, there is a shortage but people don't need to stockpile months worth at a time. It'll be sorted in a matter of weeks, so be kind to other mothers and don't horde the faux boob juice.

    Well, yeah! Nothing is ever Trump's fault and everything is always Biden's fault. I was just about to post that I hit my foot on the coffee table this afternoon. Yep, Biden did it because he's POTUS and the company built the table in America and the movers put it in that spot. I might have to call an attorney. /sarc.

    Why do you think this will be solved in a matter of weeks, what improvement to the economy are you claiming is going to happen? It takes energy to produce baby formula. It takes feed to feed the cows that produce the base product. It takes fertilizer to grow that feed. It takes fuel to transport that feed to the cows. It takes fuel to transport it to the formula manufacturer. It takes energy to produce it. It takes petroleum to produce the packaging. It takes fuel to transport it through the logistics. All I see is a Biden administration doing everything it can to exacerbate the situation not make it better and turn it around.

    I don't know there was some problem with American manufacturing then was there? Did it just pop up after Trump took office?

    I recall President Obama saying those jobs would never come back. I also recall this

    Trump’s big reelection weapon: A remarkable manufacturing jobs boom

    At a PBS town hall, President Obama went so far as to mock Trump’s commitment to manufacturing. “What magic wand do you have?” Obama said.

    What Obama and others in the Democratic Party didn’t understand – and judging by the rhetoric coming from the current batch of presidential candidates, still don’t understand – is that you don’t need a magic wand to grow the economy. All that is required are policies that give individuals and businesses more power to operate freely and that limit efforts by inept, greedy government bureaucrats in Washington to meddle and manipulate markets they don’t fully understand.

    Over the course of Trump’s three years in office, he has kept his pledge to spur economic growth by reducing government intrusions. By the White House’s count, President Trump has signed 16 pieces of legislation meant to deregulate various aspects of the economy, and his administration has slashed an average of 8.5 regulations for every new regulation passed.

    Trump also championed congressional Republicans’ 2017 tax reform legislation, which cut the corporate tax rate to 21 percent, reduced income taxes for the vast majority of Americans and altered the tax code to make it easier for businesses to invest in capital.

    These efforts have led to historic economic growth. In Trump’s first three years, more than seven million full-time jobs have been added. To put that into perspective, only 2.45 million jobs were gained from 2007 – the height of employment under the Bush administration – to the end of the Obama era in early 2017.....
    https://thehill.com/opinion/campaig...-weapon-a-remarkable-manufacturing-jobs-boom/

    So tell me exactly what is Biden doing to increase manufacturing here. All I see is him paying people not to work driving up the cost of labor and the cost of goods, pledging to increase taxes on companies even a "windfall profits" tax. All I see is more attacks on our energy producing sector driving up cost for everything, See my sig.

    I wouldn't even put this as Trump's fault either. But a recall is what is driving this, along with the supply chain disruptions.

    I don't either. I just think it's strange that one POTUS was apparently infallible and the other is always at fault. I've never seen people flip on a dime like that before I joined this forum.
