The Abbott plant was shut down and a huge amount of formula recalled on the order of the FDA, on rather shaky evidence of contamination. The FDA has been very slow to admit that, and to let Abbott start again. Hence the shortages.

But all this Defense Production act does is give other suppliers priority for raw materials, which is silly because they are not in short supply. Won't have any effect at all to remediate the shortage in retail stores.

Easing restrictions on foreign suppliers will, but I'm thinking not much. Do they have excess production capacity that can be ramped up quickly? I doubt it. All they can do is draw down their inventories, leaving their own consumers short. In a couple of months Abbott's production will hit the stores, and the crisis will be over. If a foreign supplier DID ramp up production, they'd just have to slow it down again. In Europe, this is well nigh impossible. You can't hire workers for a few months and then lay them off again over there. Labor laws.

Imagine hating someone sooo much that you’d sell your soul to get rid of that person. That’s the deal the Dems made with the Devil to get rid of President Trump. Now, the Devil is collecting on that deal and America is reaping what the Dems have sown.

They are practicing for a domestic war. If they can control food, fuel, medicine, etc., they win.

There was no reason or necessity to invoke Defense Production Act other than grandstanding theater

“The shortages that came of it were something the Bidenite FDA never considered.”

Proves President Obama was right.
