Marjorie Greene is Blaming WIC for the Baby Formula Shortage.
Because who else would they blame, aside from the poor?
Considering the fact that she is one of the biggest fundraisers for the GOP and is held in high esteem by a significant portion of the Trump wing of the base in particular, every once in a while we have no choice but to address something that Representative Marjorie Greene has said. It seems as though at least once a week, the Georgia lawmaker is giving us new reasons to contemplate the fate of a country where someone like her is in a position of power. Of course, it should come as no surprise that she felt the need to weigh in on the baby formula shortage, and tell us exactly who she feels is to blame.
Ewan Palmer with Newsweek writes:
“…Greene also described WIC as a key “problem” for the nationwide shortage because she thinks it will make it harder for those not using its benefits to purchase formulas.
“The government program is the largest customer for baby formula in the United States of America,” Greene said.
“And now Joe Biden and his administration, their solution is making WIC an even bigger customer, when in reality many of the parents that can’t buy baby formula for their baby, they’re not on the WIC program.
