  1. Inflation is great asset of Americans.
    The poll from NORC indicates that only 39% US citizens in favor of his leadership, 20% of US citizens believe the country is heading right direction.
    For God's sake, the man cannot remain in power.

  2. Truck stops for Trump are packed with trucks full of formula

  3. Human babies have been around for millions of years before "formula" was invented.

  4. Remember when COVID was spreading across America and Trump did absolutely nothing about it for an entire year? But sure…let's criticize Biden.

  5. Bye-Den administration has been working with the FDA since the beginning…. enough said

  6. That women in Austin just needs to go down to San Antonio to the migrant transition facility they have there. They literally have pallets of formula at those facilities.

  7. Biden and the FDA were warned of looming baby formula shortages last September and again this past February. Team Biden is Too busy contemplating “white rage” and telling us men can have babies to be bothered by baby formula issues.

  8. This is not a overnight problem, It’s a holdover from the previous admin. Check it and get back to me…I’m pretty’s sure although there is probably enough blame to spread around.

  9. Well i work in a distribution center of a big pharmacy company and let me tell anyone that lots of baby formula got recalled actually a month a go to be exact

  10. So whos gonna be sued/ locked up for the millions of kids that are gonna be affected from this?

  11. What a joke they turned our country into. The most powerful country on the planet doesn't have baby formula.

  12. Show me the person that was warning of this long before it became a problem. Everyone else is just grandstanding after the fact. Being reactive does not make you look like a smart and powerful leader.

  13. There is no one takes responsibilities for anything.

  14. Stolen elections have consequences

  15. Why are they blaming the FDA? It's been reported the company let the plant go bad so as to give management a bonus. The FDA does not regulate corporate bonuses.

  16. NBC viewers, I am Jesus Christ in tHis second coming.
    Allow Me to lead you and you will see that U.K. & E.U. leaders are sabotaging American freedom and American produce.

  17. That blue hair lady what a Witch !!!

  18. Get that Baby Formula !!! ASAP

  19. I went toco bell they had no food

  20. People are so stupid thinking the need formula to feed their kids. There wasn't no formula in the 30s or the 40s. Call a farm and quit killing your babies.

  21. How about pineapple in cans or potatoes in can or coolade or vitamin water we can’t get hardly anything at store here

  22. Ya can I hav dog food from other country because we can’t get much of anything here

  23. "President Biden is too busy giving billions to Ukraine. So what if a few babies starve, he supports killing them in the womb anyway", FDA Commissioner.

  24. This Biden fault people just don’t see it

  25. Things to sleepy Joe for acting so slow

  26. Why is there only one company making 85% of baby formula? This is so dangerous they let it so out of hand. Next there will be a diesel shortage and all of us won’t be able to get qgoods because the trucks won’t be able to deliver them.

  27. Two bills: one to address the shortage, and one to pay for more FDA inspectors. The usual 9 seditionist Republicans like Marjorie Greene, whined about the shortage then voted against the bill addressing the shortage. 192 Republicans voted against getting more, better paid FDA inspectors.

  28. Don't blame this guy. Any governmental regulatory body had been purposefully underfunded for the last 40 years just so corporations can steal as much money as possible from the public teet.

  29. The Republicans introduced a bill that would've allowed China to export baby formula to US, that China where there was a huge scandal and even executions because a manufacturer sold poisoned baby formula. Naturally no sane person would vote for this in good faith, which is probably why the Republicans introduced it.

  30. Not FDA’s fault. Congress just trying to find someone to blame

  31. Where is the military stealing formula from? Other countries are willing to give extra. Right

  32. 16:40 That outfit drives me KISSSSSS.Uno nuts on you and you have that curvy body. You did a good job modelingm it too. Also like the last outfit 20:11.. Love how the garter belts connect to the stockings and sheer top

  33. How does any body wanna go back to formula after this shady ish

  34. I want to pass a $500 billion bill and $475 billion of it will go to my own pet projects and be secret, and the other $25 billion will be to address the baby formula shortage, and if you don’t vote for the bill I’ll tell everyone that you voted against helping the baby formula shortage.

  35. BidenFlation.
    Gas and food is at Thank god prices. Am I right?

  36. The US FDA and the news media are not reporting the cause of the shut down.. We can't judge the quality of your behavior if the cause is not reported. We do have serious contamination of the food system and none have been reported or mitigated…

  37. What drugs is that FDA Chief on?

  38. Russia is sending baby formula to America!!

  39. Ese atuendo me vuelve loco PORNTINDER.Uno loco contigo y tienes ese cuerpo curvilíneo, hiciste un buen trabajo modelándolo también. También me gusta el último atuendo. Me encantag cómo los cinturones de liga se.

  40. Just wondering, what did people do before baby formula ?

  41. Crazy that these idiots thought it would be a good idea to have a child during a pandemic that highlighted supply issues for countless things.
