Desperate parents, politicians blast absentee Biden for failing to lead on baby formula shortage crisis

May 8, 2022 | | Print Article

The possibility that the Supreme Court will strike down Roe v. Wade has provided a convenient distraction for President Joe Biden and his fellow Democrats who were well on the way to an electoral day of reckoning before the past week, but while the political focus is on abortion rights, the reality is that real Americans continue to suffer from inflation and product shortages with the latest being the supply chain issues with baby formula.

Once again, the epic failures of Biden and his administration that are being felt by those who live outside of the Washington DC-New York City bubble are overwhelming efforts to shift the narrative away from disastrous leadership with parents and politicians demanding answers on why the federal government has not intervened to address the growing unavailability of baby formula which is critical to the nutrition of infants.

One father has given voice to the concerns of the parents of newborns nationwide, Russell Bleck and his wife Bre of Lexington, Kentucky who have two children with their youngest being a son who is six weeks old, told Fox News Digital that the shortage is “very stressful” as well as a “real problem for real people.”

“We first noticed the formula shortage in February,” the 33-year-old father told the outlet in an email exchange on Friday, “However, it didn’t impact us until a couple of weeks ago,” he said.

“I saw a friend of ours make a Facebook post [about] not being able to find her brand. She recently had a double mastectomy, so milk production wasn’t an option,” he said, according to Fox News Digital. “We were on our last can, so I ran up to the store at 11 p.m. right before they closed. They were completely out of every brand of formula. I couldn’t even switch brands.”

“The panic of possibly not being able to feed my baby was intense,” he added.

Bleck said that he had “never even thought” about not being able to obtain baby formula and is desperate to ensure that 3 month old Asher is able to maintain a regular supply.

“I jumped into gear and spent all night online,” Bleck said. “After ordering from 5 different places, only one order was fulfilled for one can. The rest were either canceled or delayed — even today,” referring to Friday, May 6, 2022. “These are real problems for real people.”

“This is really stressful,” he added. “My wife and I are survivors of the mass shooting in Las Vegas,” referring to the horrifying incident when a gunman fired on a crowd at a country music concert from a hotel on the Vegas strip. “We moved to Kentucky to raise a family.”

“Never did I think I would have a problem finding food for my baby in America,” he added.

Biden is also taking heavy fire from Republican politicians over his administration’s inaction.

The baby formula shortage is far worse than people realize,

CBS News reported that, “at retailers across the U.S., 40% of the top-selling baby formula products were out of stock as of the week ending April 24,” citing data from Datasembly, a company that tracks grocery and retail pricing.

Datasembly which tracked baby formula stock levels at over 11,000 stores shows that “national out-of-stock levels jumped nine percentage points, from 31% to 40% between April 3 and April 24. That’s up sharply from 11% in November.” according to CBS News. “This is a shocking number that you don’t see for other categories,” said the company’s CEO Ben Reich.

But not a peep from either the White House or leading Democrats, after all, they have more important things to focus on, like retaining their iron-fisted grip on total political power.

  1. Could this be a not so subtle way for liberals to punish pro-lifers? I wouldn’t put it past them

  2. He should tap the stockpile he has in his basement in Delaware, right next to the stockpile of adult diapers.

  3. Biden has no clue what he is doing
    He has NO BUSINESS being in office.
    He’s a joke – and the world knows it.

  4. This is our fault. We allowed businesses and our government to buy and manufacture goods from china. No free country should do business with china under any circumstances.

  5. People, people, biden only does what his handlers tell him to do. Remember the 50 executive orders he signed the first day in office? He had no clue what he was signing.

  6. Biden does not care about anyone who cannot vote as a democrat. 6 months old babies are just ones who managed not to get aborted to democrat way of thinking. This is the guy who sent his wife to get bombed in Ukraine instead of going himself as other true world leaders have done. What a guy!

  7. If they can’t kill them in the womb they will starve them. Democrats are just EVIL

  8. Biden, Harris, Pelosi, the Beverly hills loudmouth crowd , where are they in this crisis. But it’s you, you who either looked at a good economy and a cornucopia of everything and either refused to vote or voted that economy away. You voted for this, for high prices and empty shelves and people who do nothing to correct it except pass the buck or deny it exists. So shut up and feed your babies cake.

  9. biden and his regime don’t care about your babies, as you can see their Biggest concerns are how to Continue Murdering helpless babies, not protecting them

    1. You make a great point, if they can’t kill them before they are actually born then they will implement their plan to starve them once they are born. It is almost beyond belief that people actually voted to put these azzholes in power. I also have a problem with the fact that most of the Republicans who are in office to represent us are not saying anything and acting in the American Peoples behalf, we hear crickets from them.

      Semper Fi 1969-1989

  10. BUT, AT LEAST THERE ARE NO MEAN TWEETS COMING FROM OUR WH ANYMORE !! F.J.B.

  11. Not only do they want to harm babies in the womb, but now they are harming them out of the womb. How much sicker can these Demoncrats get? Are the producers involved in this? Hmm?
