The president invoked the Defense Production Act to produce more baby formula. He could also use it to declare a medical emergency and expand Medicare to everyone; declare a climate emergency and build a clean energy grid; and cancel the college loan debt.

You're suggesting the president abuse the law to assume power that belongs to citizens as represented by congress. This is a horrific idea.

Why would he cancel the college loan debt? Take some responsibility, that was a choice no one forced you to go to college and have the time of your life. Cancel my credit card debt while you're at it

That's the danger of having extra-constitutional powers, they get repurposed to do things that can't get done via the will of the people. You know that's not how laws and policy are supposed to get created in America.

Nope, instead Biden uses the DPA to give $28 million to a member of the baby food cartel... that has billions in stock buybacks planned. #CorporateWelfare

Biden's campaign was funded by Healthcare lobbyists "TIME TO GET REAL"

It's wonderful how they keep showing us how there are tools to make all of the above happen in a snap. It's saddening and beyond disappointing how they choose not to do so.
