Yeah, I read a story today where he wants to spend $86 million to buy 25 million masks, works out to like $3.44 each. (Not sure if that's the same story you're talking about, sorry.)
Anyhow, you can get a box of 600 masks at Costco for $99.99, so that's about 17 cents each. Typical liberal program, spending other people's money they don't care if it's a rip off, just so it looks like they're doing something, signaling the virtue.
And to your original meme, like so what, they're going to send ONE mask but now the experts are saying we're supposed to wear two? Give me a break, it's not about health at all, is it?
