I believe that can be filed under Petulant.
I don’t see criticism of Biden here. Quit creating straw mans out of thin air. I think you just enjoy reading your own posts.
Yes Republicans overwhelmingly voted for the bill that would put more formula in the hands of poor people.
They voted against spending that has little guardrails and is likely to have zero effect on the immediate formula crisis.
Does anybody really think formula made in a country like Germany would be unsafe to import?
The FDA regulations were made to block imports in the name of safety....and help the domestic producers maintain their market share.

They aren't handing it out at the border. The country must comply with our laws and feed infants in detention though.
Or make an make a short period amendment that says due to extreme circumstances we don't HAVE to feed them and allow American citizens the access to the formula which will also.slow down immigration. You think if I flee to Mexico they are going to pass out free formula for my children?
Less red tape = whoever is in power gets blamed for baby deaths by bad formulaSo…..the solution to the current baby formula shortage is to hire more government workers in the future? Makes sense.
Maybe less red tape would do just as well?
Rs voted against the bill because it does not nothing to actually solve the problem. Biden did nothing for months and now wants to throw money at the problem that will not be used until after the shortage is over.
We just think different on this one. IMHO, if our country has infants detained we should feed them.
That's fair and it's certainly OK to agree to disagree. I'm of the belief if we were not offering free food, we would have less detained.
Why? Just class action lawsuit the formula companies. Problem solved.
How would allowing formula to be purchased by WIC suddenly make formula appear? Some kind of sorcery?
And under your plan, those that are detained, do the infants get formula?
I asked in another formula thread if you were good with breaking the law due to supply chain issues which you failed to answer. Thank you for doing that now. I choose not to go down that potentially slippery slope.
Not during this period. Post pandemic, post period of food scarcity we can bring it back, if possible.
Must have missed it, sorry mate. Also, I would right it as an addendum to the law to not break it. We are un unprecedented times. I realize it isn't the child's fault the parent drug their ass from whatever country but the parent figured our how to feed them on the way. It with deter people from coming and it will help Americans. Remember we are nor talking about Legal immigration here.
Man, you looneys just like to go back and forth for no reason.
So your plan is to starve immigrant infants at the border in the near future? Wow.
Maybe look into how the FDA was established.So…..the solution to the current baby formula shortage is to hire more government workers in the future? Makes sense.

Manufacturing is consolidated in too few locations. One of them (20% of nation's supply) is shut down. Unfortunately, business has been allowed to operate recklessly in this important area.
Less red tape does not equal no regulations. Sheesh……..it’s not an either/or situation.
I think there we’re probably folks at the FDA that helped that along.
FDA doesn’t have a great track record
Put in bs regulations to limit imports and you basically have a domestic monopoly. Get a sweet gig at one of those 4 companies when you’re done at the FDA

Issues like this stem from the inane amount hurdles and red tape that make agility and responses next to impossible.
Dems think throwing away tax payers money to fix a problem incompetence caused is typical. The FDA already got $100. million more than last year. Where did that money go?
God, I am so mad that my tax money is going to help pay for babies to eat, you fat hillbilly. Why do we continue to let you post on here, Tubby bitch?
Donate to charity if you want your money to help the world. I want my tax money to help Americans.
