Again - it’s not about the babies.
Honestly, what kind of a heartless, mindless fuck do you have to be to vote against allocating a pittance to keep infants from going hungry??

Of course it's not about babies, it never was and never will be.

And we know - throwing money at a problem ALWAYS fixes it..........
......
What exactly would we get for 28 million that supply and demand wouldn' t already fix? And TRY to restrain yourself from calling me an evil fucker who hates babies - give an actual answer to the question.

Right now, babies need to be fed.
A long-term fix can be looked at, and should be looked at, but right now babies are getting sick because of the formula shortage.

A supply of formula for hungry babies.
Doesn't seem that difficult to me.

You can' t buy what isn' t there.
What are you going to spend the 28 million on?

I'm not going to argue the need for formula production to be fast-tracked with you.

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...
