Because if the private sector isn’t fixing it, in their mind it’s a problem that doesn’t need to be fixed.

Why did 192 Republicans vote against a $28 million emergency fund to address the baby formula shortage?

Because the federal government already has the power to fix the issue. Why print more money to hand to lobbyists. The FDA can fix this right now if they wanted to.

"Salaries and expenses" "prevent fraudulent products from entering US" OR we could, oh I don't know, source more formula??

The FDA literally caused the problem, so let’s give them more money?

The $28 million baby formula bill pays $23 million in salaries and does NOTHING for the shortage.

Both parties support the cops that stop people from taking formula off the shelves or taking over production at the factory. You don’t want to fix the problem you just want to take tax dollars and funnel them into these emergency funds that only act as a bandaid.
