The Party of Starving Babies!

A C-17 Air Force Globemaster cargo jet costs us, the U. S. taxpayers, $340,000,000.  That's $Three Hundred and Forty Million Dollars.  And so far as I know, no cents.

They contain as much internal space as your average 5-bedroom/4-bath house.  And they are anything but average.

They were designed to transport our soldiers, and our materiel, and our vehicles to anywhere on Earth, on short landing strips, in just hours.  They were not designed to transport infant formula from Switzerland to Indiana.

Just this past Sunday the O'Biden Administration did just that.  They forced the pilots of a C-17, each making an average of $117,00 a year, to fly 78,000 pounds of infant formula from Europe to the U.S.  That flight brought us one half-million bottles, the Administration told us.  With more to come next week.  And the week after that.  Until the Abbott plant will reopen, which they say will take another 6 - 8 weeks.  Because the O'Biden Administration's own FDA closed it down tight back in February.  With no plan to replace the 40% of all baby formula Abbott makes and our mothers depend upon to feed their infants.

What they didn't tell us is that this flight costs us, the Taxpayers, $23,811 an hour to operate.  And it takes 9 hours at 500 mph to fly the 4,373 miles from Zurich to Indianapolis.  That means you and I paid more than $200,000 to transport baby food to try and Band-Aid another O'Biden royal goof.  One in a never-ending series.  Which very well could cost lives.  This means you and I paid about $4.00 for each 8-ounce bottle we transported in Operation "Fly Formula."  Will they add this to the retail price?  Will they force the retailers to pay for it?  Or Abbott?  Or will you and I eat it, just like always.  I'm thinking it's you and I...

It's not a good idea to get between mothers and their screaming babies.  

Those who know me know I'm a retired marketing executive with a vast wealth of experience.  And I'm always willing to help out those poor misguided souls in need professional guidance.  Like the Democrat Party.  So knowing they're having a lot of trouble with messaging, I'm offering one they might want to use in light of the current situation.  And here it is:

     "The Party of Starving Babies!"

And if that's too, you know, "human," then you could always change it to the "Party of Undernourished Infants." To help the public understand that importing 132 pallets of baby food, from...ourselves...surely indicates they're trying.  Right?

Or they could try and once again deflect attention away from this problem of their own making by calling attention back to our high inflation, or our high gas prices, or our high utility rates.  But I'd suggest just try doing their jobs for a change and stop causing all these crises.

We've had entirely enough of those...
