President Biden is taking heat for spending 40% of his days in office “on vacation” after he was away from the White House for two-thirds of the time.
Biden’s weekends and vacations totaled 234 days — seven in 10 of them spent at his homes in Wilmington and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware — out of 589 days in office. An ABC/Washington Post poll found six in ten say he “hasn’t accomplished much” as president. 42% of Americans say they are worse off. A record.
While Biden is living it up in St. Croix, without a care in the world, playing golf, and losing his ball in the woods, and planes aren’t running on time, we have supply shortages and crises, but somehow it’s worse when it hits our kids.
First, it was a diaper shortage, then there was a baby formula shortage which is still with us. Now stores are running out of children’s pain medication. CBS reports parents across the country are “panicking” over a drastic shortage of children’s pain medicine.
Pharmacies are “seeing shortages in almost everything, from children’s medicine, behavioral medication, antibiotics — and the leading shortage is in diabetic medication.”
Top Biden advisor Dr. Ashish Jha claimed in November there has been supply chain issues going on for decades, yet White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre couldn’t say if Joe Biden had been briefed on the topic and claimed that there were strong supply chains for these products. So which is it? Strong supply chains, no panic due to the supply chains, supply chain problems for decades? Sounds like we have two different answers there. That’s the problem with the Biden administration, you can’t trust what they have to say.
USAntibiotics, sole manufacturer of Amoxicillin brand products, says 80% of all antibiotics and many medications are produced in India, China or overseas. That puts the US at substantial risk of not having these medications, but it’s also a public health & national security risk.
Countries across Europe are reporting shortages of amoxicillin, cephalosporins and other widely used antibiotics.
When the huge outbreak of influenza hit this fall, the anti-flu drug Tamiflu was released from the national stockpile, but where was the Tylenol? By some estimates, over 90% of our imported ibuprofen and over 70% of our imported acetaminophen come from China, as well as a large chunk of the active pharmaceutical ingredients for the drugs that are made here.
We need to manufacture our medicines here and not rely on other countries like China, which has been completely unreliable in terms of the supply chain.
It’s a tough time to be a little kid, during the Joe Biden era.
