I will require a full quote, in context, because I am not a moron.
This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.

Gaetz has argued that the measure would "allow WIC to utilize a far greater portion of the baby formula market, crowding out many hard-working American families."

Just as I figured, you're a lying dumbass. This isn't about blocking access to formula. They already have that. Has you read your own link and had a brain larger than a grain of sand, it is about removing ALL restrictions on the program.
The measure would allow the Department of Agriculture to waive restrictions on baby food for recipients of the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). Typically, WIC limits the range of baby food brands that parents can purchase through the federal program.
So yes, let's just keep printing money and forcing citizens onto government welfare where they can wallow in despair and never-ending poverty. You clueless hacks on the left amaze me.
Meanwhile, thanks to Biden and the Democratic Party of Lying Jackasses, blue collar and poor families are getting hammered by skyrocketing gas prices, skyrocketing food prices and watching the value of their savings disappear thanks to the idiotic policies they have implemented and their war on energy, gas, pipelines and America.
Yes, we get it. You brain dead douchebags need someone the deflect the voters away from the massive failure that is the Biden Presidency. It's weak, pathetic and a waste of everyone's time.

Matt Gaetz has been accused of being a pedophile but now he truly is a baby fucker along with 199 other Republicans.
For background, there's some causes of the crisis:
https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/ar...recall/629828/
Three factors are driving the U.S. baby-formula shortage: bacteria, a virus, and a trade policy.
First, the bacteria. After the recent deaths of at least two infants from a rare infection, the Food and Drug Administration investigated Abbott, a major producer of infant formula, and discovered traces of the pathogen Cronobacter sakazakii in a Michigan plant. As a result, the FDA recalled several brands of formula, and parents were advised to not buy or use some formula tied to the plant.
Recalls are common. Thousands of drugs and products are recalled every year, and they don’t create a meltdown at pharmacies or require CVS to instate Soviet-style rationing of essentials. So something else is going on here.
That brings us to the second cause: the virus. The pandemic has snarled all sorts of supply chains, but I can’t think of a market it’s yanked around more than infant formula. “During the spring of 2020, formula sales rocketed upwards as people stockpiled formula just like they stockpiled toilet paper,” Lyman Stone, the director of research at the consulting firm Demographic Intelligence, told me. Then, as “families worked through their stockpiles, sales fell a lot. This oscillation made planning for production extremely difficult. It was complicated to get an idea of the actual market size.” Meanwhile, Stone’s research has found that an uptick in births in early 2022 has corresponded with a “very dramatic decline in rates of breastfeeding” among new mothers, which pushed up demand for formula once again.
In brief: Demand for formula surged as parents hoarded in 2020; then demand fell, leading suppliers to cut back production through 2021; and now, with more new mothers demanding more formula in 2022, orders are surging faster than supply is recovering.
Finally, the third factor: America’s regulatory and trade policy. And while that might not sound as interesting to most people as bacteria and viruses, it might be the most important part of the story.
FDA regulation of formula is so stringent that most of the stuff that comes out of Europe is illegal to buy here due to technicalities like labeling requirements. Nevertheless, one study found that many European formulas meet the FDA nutritional guidelines—and, in some ways, might even be better than American formula, because the European Union bans certain sugars, such as corn syrup, and requires formulas to have a higher share of lactose.
Some parents who don’t care about the FDA’s imprimatur try to circumvent regulations by ordering formula from Europe through third-party vendors. But U.S. customs agents have been known to seize shipments at the border.
U.S. policy also restricts the importation of formula that does meet FDA requirements. At high volumes, the tax on formula imports can exceed 17 percent. And under President Donald Trump, the U.S. entered into a new North American trade agreement that actively discourages formula imports from our largest trading partner, Canada.

It's lunatic rants like this that make your bullshit irrelevant. But alas, morons don't know they are morons even when it is pointed out to them.
Has Gaetz ever been charged as a pedophile? NO. But here you are bloviating unadulterated bullshit and lies as if anyone could take you seriously.
One thing we do take seriously; you're sad mental state. You should seek professional help. November is going to be harsh on you.
