Baby Formula. Guess who?

"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."

Actually Trump was third on the list behind the bacteria closing a plant in Michigan and Covid. People hoarded formula and made more babies during Covid.

So The Atlantic started with "it's Trump's fault" and worked backwards to make up some "facts" as to why. Sounds like every rent-free post you lefties make on here, no wonder you read these rags.

It's pretty warm outside, please make sure you stay near a freezer, snowflakes melt really fast in this kind of weather. Hopefully, all your whining about everything being Trump's fault won't cause you to melt faster.

Very clever, you want a medal or a chest to pin it on?

Not getting enough attention at home?

 

[Toots_mcgee]

It just kills you boys that the Trump presidency finished with a hideous GNP and many of his moves will be shown to have done long term damage. We will survive. Keep your chin up.

Carters hire sure helped Reagan curb inflation. So will no matter what party (other than Trump) Will the next president behind Biden shine like Reagan did with Carter?

They will never admit he was that bad.

Well let me rephrase that:

Their propaganda sources will never inform them that trump was that bad.

 

[Expect2Win]

And with all the right-wing white Nazis running around, I hope you're staying near the closet.

I don't hang around that crowd, so I wouldn't know how many are out there. But you seem to be well aware of how many are out there. Your type of crowd?

In Feb I could not find a wheat thin or saltine cracker in any of my regular stores for 2 weeks straight. Now the shelves are overstocked. Crackers everywhere. Since you guys claim Biden caused the shortages and not the global economy I guess I say thank you Joe for driving the truck yourself to make sure I got my snacks now. He my hero now. When the baby formula issues are resolved, it is Joe who should get the credit.

 

[kaskaskiakid]

But by the current standard, the Trump years seem like Camelot.

Only if you consider impeachments and an attempt to destroy our democratic process to be Camelot.

 

[Veer2Eternity]

Every President since Kennedy has sucked. But by the current standard, the Trump years seem like Camelot.

Did you know that in Biden's first year he approved more oil leases than trump did in his first 3?

Bet you can't find that on fauxnews.

It's natural to respond to all the Whining that it's is Trumps fault being puked out 12+ months after Trump left office.

Maybe stop spreading easily exposed lies about everything being Trumps fault and people won't Point out how people have to be a Bit addled to believe Trump is to blame for all the Failings of the Socialist Party of America aka the Dem's.

High Inflation, Shortages, Shrinking of Middle Class, Restricting of Rights....it's all what happens Historically when hard core Socialist policies take hold and grow.

Wrong...he did no long term damage. Biden is and will continue to do so until his term is over.

Wait you are now using a Substack blogger as a legit source? I couldn't even find his credentials. Look over how he arranged the data.......oh never mind. His opinion fits your beliefs so why should I bother.

Trump was bad....he spent like a Drunken Democratic sailor, no doubt. I've stated it on this board multiple times. He was not economically conservative. But no doubt he is better than Biden and what ever the heck he is doing or not doing.

I couldn't find Cauliflower at 3 stores, and Kale and Baby Spinach was in short supply at two stores. I'm happy that you now can indulge in your Carb lust though with Crackers being plentiful thanks to Joe. Clearly your red phone access to Biden got that shortage cleared up....

If the Global shortages and Economy Recovers clearly it will be because of all the Great Policies that Trump put in place that miraculously overcame Even Biden's inept handling of things. He is the Ultra Magna King...even Biden admits that why can't you guys.

Yes the MSM had put forth that sound byte with gusto...ignoring all the facts that approving Permits doesn't lead to pumping oil in weeks or days. You have to secure right of ways, meet state regulations, work with landowners, then you have to access the viable economic return on that permit within the Global economy and market. Then you factor in the bust of 2020 and with workers shortages and supply shortages and approving permits is just window dressing....

What is strange and you won't find on the Left wing Media outlets is Trump didn't have to approve as many permits as Biden and Oil was cheap and Plentiful. It appears Biden and his policies of just rubber stamping some paper work are slow, ineffective and not very efficient at all in getting oil to the consumer at a affordable rate.

I actually was looking for a link of Carter blaming Ford and Nixon, and couldn't find one.
But I saw that and shared it, sorry it didn't fit your high standards.

We could have lower gas prices within days if big oil would just up production on their existing wells to what it was just a few months ago. New leases and new pipelines wouldn't help anything for years to come. Just pump the freakin oil they have ready to go anytime they choose to do so!

 

[revno]

The Biden administration claims price gouging for highest prices we've seen in our lifetimes. In order to do price gouging you have to have a full on Monopoly. Even then actual price gouging doesn't last because you have competitors that ramp up production and under cut the inflated prices.
Whenever you've inflated the currency the way administration has, and your regulatory policies are causing supply chain issues, this is how the Democrats always respond. Bush, Trump, Hoarding, price gouging, greed. Has the administration explained a viable alternative to the base fossil fuels that run our worlds economy? Yesterday, Biden cancelled oil leases off the coast of Alaska and in gulf of Mexico. But it's gouging? Leases take financing. Financing takes time. Oil is a speculative industry. Talk about supply chain issues.
Baby formula has to be discarded fairly quickly. You have to keep the bottles sanitized. None of the samples in the plants where the product was manufactured were found contaminated. The company volunteered to shutdown production fearing lawsuits after the Oct report. With good reason. Then, FDA like all bad government red tape waited months to react. Not only this, our trade policies pre Trump is preventing baby safe formula imports from Europe. Europeans are sitting on an abundance of formula. Bottom line is I don't think they care.

Amazing stuff. Illegible, but amazing.

 

[Toots_mcgee]

Grandpa should have taken his grankid behind the shed and straightened him out. You don’t have to have a monopoly to price gouge. Get a clue. Gas at my local station was 4.27 Tuesday. 3.99 Wednesday and then back to 4.29 today. Oil leases have nothing to do with this nonsense. If you think us old timers haven’t lived thru this in our lifetimes, grandpa needs to have a little chat with you.

 

[Toots_mcgee]

I would say #1, stop allowing mergers and acquisitions that leave us with industries in which 3 companies control 90%+ of a market.

When Covid hit and Trump couldnt find enough masks for our hospitals did you cry for the nurses and doctors like you are for the babies now? This stuff happens. We need to adjust as a country.

 

[kaskaskiakid]

Doesn't OPEC set the price of oil? Doesn't OPEC have a monopoly on the industry?

 

[Toots_mcgee]

Gas should be the highest it has ever been. So should wages. So should milk. So should TP. This is 2022, not 1954.

 

[Toots_mcgee]

The Federal Reserve can get inflation under control. It's really a matter of how much pain they choose to inflict. People that do not need access to the cash value of their investments will sit tight.

Yes. Rich people are always going to be fine.

 

[kaskaskiakid]

Yes. Rich people are always going to be fine.

Yes, they deserve another tax break. bless their hearts.

 

[Veer2Eternity]

Stop with the facts!

Gas is expensive everywhere except...*drum roll*

In places that nationalize their oil.

Hmmm.

 

[Toots_mcgee]

Complain about the rich all you want, it's the highest gas has been in history and I don't recall ever having a shortage of baby formula. Thanks Brandon, your America last policies appear to be working

Cough….Trump trade deal…..cough cough.

 

[Toots_mcgee]

Dems have help coming.

CNN's Dana Bash: "Do you think that the state of Nebraska should require a young girl who was raped to carry that pregnancy to term?"

Gov. Pete Ricketts: "Those are babies, too."

Bash: "Including in the case of rape or incest?"

Ricketts: "Yes, they’re still babies."

Doug and Grandkid, using multiple names is about as spineless as you can be. Grow a pair!!!
