The health experts are saying that America needs BILLIONS (with a B) of surgical masks over the next 12 months. This past weekend Pence made a big deal about getting millions of masks to the medical community...very soon.
The trouble is Pence has been saying the same thing for over a week now. And when we are staring at the need for billions of masks, the Administration is talking a meager fraction of what is needed to combat this pandemic.
So why aren't we fully enacting the Defense Production Act?
If ever there was a time when we need to ratchet up the nation's resources to address a critical need, it's now. My gut tells me that Trump doesn't want to make this call because it would open him up to...gasp!...charges of hypocrisy...when he runs for reelection against those Socialist Democrats.
