USA today fact checks lack of replenishment of n95 masks in national stockpile

Boca

Governor
Every dollar spent has to be appropriated by the House.

Until Just last year the GOP ran the House for 4 consecutive terms.
Obama didn't replenish it! Never asked in 5 years for money to do it apparently. And if he did and didn't get it he signed anyway after having been warned about it.

He owns it, he was President!

What was he supposed to do pay for them out of his own pocket ?

He's not a fake billionaire like Trump.

Wait after all of the grifting Trump has done on the govt since taking office he probably is a billionaire by now.

Anyway GOP'ers wouldn't cough up the funding to both replenish the emergency medical stockpile and keep vaccine manufactures in business.

The Sofie's Choice party backed him into a corner.

Now we all have finally joined him there.


Thanks Tea party !

He depleted them when he had a Democratic Congress because of an acute public health crisis. He then found himself unable to replenish him because a Republican Congress came in dedicated to stopping everything he tried to do.

We rate this claim TRUE because it is supported by our research. There is no indication that the Obama administration took significant steps to replenish the supply of N95 masks in the Strategic National Stockpile after it was depleted from repeated crises. Calls for action came from experts at the time concerned for the country’s ability to respond to future serious pandemics. Such recommendations were, for whatever reason, not heeded.

Sad, still lying:

"ProPublica reported on April 3 that congressional budget battles in the early years of the Obama administration contributed to stockpile shortages. But the article notes available funds were used not to replenish masks"

Ouch. The entire thing you are whining about was not about funds that were going to be allocated for this anyways. There is squarely on the Kenyan freak. Period.

The Teaparty Monster in the House would not fund that replenishment for 8 yrs.

They even wanted to cut $1.1 trillion from HHS to pay for the coming Trump tax cuts with their so called healthcare bill the nation dodged by McCain's vote.

Imagine piling that on top of this pandemic crisis.
That's anti-science, nasty, selfish Republicans for you.

And then we had Trump’s newest ninny in the effort, Jared Kushner, bashing the governors for asking for help and saying it’s “our stockpile.”

Jared sure did fail his audition on The Trump Show.

;-)
Jared should take 2 Trump miracle cure pills.....and see if he's alive in the morning.

“For whatever reason”=because heeding them would have meant raising taxes on the rich slightly, and conservatives fought tooth and nail to block that.

That's outrageous. He wouldn't do what experts warned him had to be done to avoid exactly what has happened, and thousands have died, because he didn't want to slightly raise taxes on the rich?

Pathetic to say the least. I'm thinking sociopath.

That’s how capitalist politics works. Sorry Cuomo was too conservative for your tastes.

You mean like how Trump has remained silent when it come to issuing a nationwide shutdown request and has instead opted for millions to continue to infect each other, in hopes of bolstering his reelection chances ?


Sociopath sounds about right.

Trump ignored replenishing the stockpile......until mid-March. That's your Trump.
Julie, it was your boy, the Kenyan freak that tore into the stockpile and depleted it.....and never replaced it. This has nothing to do with Trump. Wow. TDS is nasty.

Nice conspiracy. Smells a lot your other one about generic hydroxychloroquine. Good lord.

From your piece:

“Pro Publica reported on April 3 that congressional budget battles in the early years of the Obama administration contributed to stockpile shortages. "Among the victims of those partisan fights was the effort to keep adequate supplies of masks, ventilators, pharmaceuticals and other medical equipment on hand to respond to a public health crisis. Lawmakers in both parties raised the specter of shortchanging future disaster response even as they voted to approve the cuts," the article states.“
Pelosi and Obama spent about twelve trillion.

Nope. You need 60 senators to pass a bill. You’re welcome.

And, needless to say, your dodge is noted.

You’re such a mess. You know that, right?
Why do you lie?

If the bill passes by simple majority (218 of 435), the bill moves to the Senate. In the Senate, the bill is assigned to another committee and, if released, debated and voted on. Again, a simple majority (51 of 100) passes the bill.

Folks who don't know what they're talking about normally keep their mouth shut. But not you, no you've been yapping about this for quite some time.

Governors have "broad discretion" to restrict and police movement within states, such as the 43 states with some version of a stay-at-home order have done, Shapiro noted. But while the president could recommend that all citizens stay at home, or recommend that all governors issue such an order, the president's own authority to issue such an enforceable directive isn't there.

"The president could shut down airports and ports and the interstate system potentially and things like that," but the president has no general authority to restrict citizens as they go about their daily lives, Shapiro said.


And this is beyond dumb... has instead opted for millions to continue to infect each other, in hopes of bolstering his reelection chances.

Sounds like Schiff has washed your brain again..

He declared a national emergency and is claiming wartime powers.



Several experts pointed to Franklin Roosevelt’s 1942 executive order interning more than 100,000 Japanese Americans months after the attack on Pearl Harbor. That order was upheld by the Supreme Court in 1944, in Korematsu v. United States

“Presidents, especially in wartime, have vast amounts of power in their role as commander-in-chief, and it would be up to the courts to stop any action that Trump took that was deemed unconstitutional,” said Matthew Dallek, an expert on presidential authority at The George Washington University’s Graduate School of Political Management.
