I have done plenty of inventory calculations in my 62 years of doing accounting & bookkeeping.
IF Obama did deplete the respirator inventory in 2009, WHERE did they go? IF those units went to individual states or cities, then those locations that received them in 2009 should still have them on hand....shouldn’t they?
WHERE did they disappear to?
Obama never had the overall health of the USA in his mind, but how does a solid asset like these expensive ventilators just disappear???
Do they have a short useful life?
Can they NOT be used a 2nd or 3rd or more times?
Can they NOT be sterilized before use by another patient?
Does anyone here know the answer?
Please PM me with info.
I voted for him even though I suspected he was a liberal NYC liberal ruuning as a Repub ala Bloomberg.
He has proved me wrong and exceeded all of my expectations.
We are truly blessed to have him as POTUS right now.
That said, it is beneath his administration to blame odungo.
That's what dems do.
Yes, soetoro drained the national stockpile and didn't replenish it.
Republicans controlled Congress for the first 2 years of the administration.
It should have been fixed.
Harry Truman had a sign on his desk.
"The buck stops here".
One more point.
FEMA, the feds, are the last line of defense in a disaster, not the first.
It appears, as in NO during Katrina, local and state governments were woefully unprepared for this.
Money that should have been used to purchase PPE, ventilators and other supplies was used for "other" things, such as lbgtqrst "issues", needle exchanges, poop patrols, riverboat gambling etc.
All of these governors, mayors and other ankle biters would do well to look in the mirror than to blame My President.
. especially when the dems are in the wrong. Trump, unlike prior Republicans, doesnt take that lying down.Yes, soetoro drained the national stockpile and didn't replenish it.

Sure - but it woulda helped a lot if the Democrats hadnt continued trying to steal the 16 election all the way to 2020.Do the Democrats get a pass for doing absolutely nothing productive - and a lot simply obstructive - in all that time? All very well to say that the Democrats were in the minority in 17 and 18 - but what did they try to do that was worth anything?
. . . and as fellow travelers of the journalism cartel, Democrats are never truly powerless.
Dems and the msm are scum.
Doesn't change the facts that FEMA should have been better prepared.
The only places this story is being repeated are a bunch of blogs. Who in the “mainstream media” has carried this?
I cannot find anything specific to ventilators on any site that I'd call "mainstream" like TownHall.
Not answer, but this says fed stockpiles havent been replenished since 2010:
Bump
Only ONE of the Obumbler's many, many mistakes during his 8 years pi$$ poor leadership!
FEMA certainly should have submitted a germane budget request, no question.Did they? Surprising that they wouldnt do that.
Someone in FEMA should have known that equipment was depleted and needed replaced.
