Yes! If government pays for military equipment to fight a war, it makes sense for government to pay for drugs and medical supplies to fight a pandemic.

A new @ewarren and @janschakowsky bill would allow the government to manufacture drugs and medical supplies. Our polling shows this is a wildly popular idea, even when voters hear arguments against it. dataforprogress.org/blog/4/3…

So now your advocating socialism where government controls the means of production. How about we bring back AMERICAN companies from China to do this. Creating more jobs and competition to lower prices. It's also called ingenuity.

Uh, actually I’m not. I’m advocating for the government to show up for its people at a time of national emergency.

Yes you are, you're 'supporting' a bill sponsored by a lying identity politics crying faux of a Senator who is an advocate for socialism. We need our companies back then we wouldn't be short handed to produce at higher levels when the need arises.
