Platinum Contributing Member Rigid1 Posted April 10, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted April 10, 2020 A widely cited USA Today fact-check, which found that the Obama administration had allowed the N95 mask stockpile to deplete, has become a flashpoint in that increasingly murky and numbers-heavy debate. In its fiscal 2011 budget, submitted in early 2010, the Obama administration explicitly sought a reduction in the SNS: "CDC requests $523,533,000 for the Strategic National Stockpile in FY 2011, a decrease of $72,216,000 below the FY 2010 Omnibus," the budget request reads. The Obama administration also sought a $47.572 million cut to the stockpile in fiscal 2013, a $38.190 million cut to the stockpile in fiscal 2014, and a smaller drop of at least several million dollars in fiscal 2015. Trump counters that the Obama-Biden administration left his own with "empty cupboards." A PolitiFact analysis notes that while the inventory was not actually bare, there still was not enough to handle the coronavirus pandemic, particularly when it came to N95 masks depleted in the wake of H1N1. Recalling the budget battles of the prior administration, the analysis notes stockpile funding dropped to its lowest level in 2013 -- about $477 million -- but those levels have steadily grown since, including under Trump. Additionally, Biden has claimed that Trump himself successfully slashed the CDC budget, and Biden has suggested that he would never pursue similar cuts. The Associated Press has noted that those claims "distort" the facts, with FactCheck.org pointing out that CDC funding has actually increased under the current administration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would he say that and then draw down stock piles? The president doesnt do that, congress has to fund that stuff. Same with the states. I know why Illinois didnt do it because they have NO MONEY. And Indiana didnt do it because Pence told Jesus to protect us like he did with the HIV outbreak when he was governor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted an article about the Obama admin granting a company a huge contract on ventilators. Said company was purchased by another and couldn't deliver and the Obama admin didn't then go somewhere else. They had the funding. For people complaining about supporting Trump sure have a hard time getting their tongue out of Obama's asshole. Years later, after prototypes were developed, Newport was bought out by Covidien in 2012, and the project ground to a halt. By 2014, Covidien wanted out of the contract, former federal officials told the Times, and the government agreed to cancel it. A year later, Covidien was purchased by Medtronic, which told the Times that the ventilators Newport was developing would not have been usable on newborns and would have fallen short of the government’s requirements. The government entered into a new contract with Philips in 2014, and finally ordered 10,000 ventilators in December 2019, with delivery expected later this year.

Trumps admin was as full of swamp things as much as anyones. The indictments and sentencings should have been an indication of that And I am not here to defend the DNC so you'll have to go to MC for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
