Yet Another GOP Dumpster Fire Of A Human Being

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Nobody is arguing.


But I am also not getting an answer to my question.


What will the 28 million ( an oddly specific sum) dollars be spent on?

What formula that is being manufactured is being bought up as fast as it is being produced - at inflated prices. There is no manufacturer induced supply side restriction. The supply side restriction was by the government - forcing a recall of formula. (We will assume it was a good recall - there is no point sidetracking on that tangent).

So how will 28 million be spent? You can' t "just buy more formula" .  There isn' t any more to buy.

You COULD loan the money to start up production facilities - but 28 million wouldn' t get much of a plant and it would be well over a year or two in building.


So please tell me what has this 28 million price tag that will solve the problem? I hate buying sight- unseen...

The $28 million is to speed up inspections at non-US plants (more inspectors, streamlined paperwork, etc) in order to get the formula to US store shelves more quickly. You could have answered this question yourself by googling ‘baby formula bill’ and actually reading the intent of the proposed legislation.

It’s not intended to ‘solve the problem’. It’s intended as a stopgap measure to address an emergency situation.
