There's more than one way to lessen effective resources being given towards something - inefficient allocation and cronyism isn't exactly a partisan issue. Perhaps we could leave behind the rhetoric about this being the fault of one side, and focus on how literally the entire country has been caught out as woefully unprepared? People used to have savings in this country, and it's not because corporations have squeezed it all out of them that they don't now - it's because people choose not to save anymore. There's an outrage at people buyings masks and basic preparedness items now, but where's the outrage at hospitals who haven't even stockpiled trivially inexpensive (at the time) items like masks and gloves in preparation for a crisis? Did Trump force them to sell their stockpiles when he was elected? The blame game is a waste of enough time and resources when there isn't an international emergency - those politicians playing it now are practically criminal.
