that money for a minimum of nine months and suddenly we have a testing shortage? one of the questions is, was that money spent for other things. if it was, how do you justify that if you re the administration and the department. martha: you know, this administration told the american people that they were going to solve covid. that the prior administration had done a terrible job. in this administration, things were going to be very different. so i think that members of congress and the american people sort of signed on for this tremendous expenditure of u.s. taxpayer dollars to fix what people saw as some of these issues. i want to put up the numbers again. i know you say it s $10 billion higher than what was laid out. but here s the specifics. $47.8 billion to carry out activities to detect, which would mean to test, diagnose, trace, more testing, and then
purchase, expand capacity for covid-19 tests. what do you think actually happened here? you think over the summer and the fall when it looked like this might have been over that they diverted the money to other things? what we re seeing here let s talk about the $47.8 billion that democrats all by themselves decided in martha they were going to spend on testing. where did that money go? did you decide that if you re the administration, well, we have a lot of flexibility because of the way that bill was uniquely written so that money could be spend in more ways than you could normally spend appropriated money. where did that money go? did you decide that the crisis is behind us so let s spend that money on something else? that s the questions we re
right. because it s buried before the weekend often. the bottom line is there are interesting new memos. one memo right before the mid-term of 2010. october at that point, administration officials learn that solyndra is about to layoff people. one official tells us here, no es bueno, this is not good. there is no evidence that the white house pushed layoffs back so they happened after the mid-term. another memo from march 2009 says that the white house was thinking about having the president announce this loan sooner than it actually happened. though the energy department didn t meet yet on the loan. even though they had concerns about that loan. so, again, this shows there is maybe a rush. maybe there was sloppiness. the white house insists no evidence of actual wrongdoing, no es bueno, not so good as the memo points out. bret: we will continue to follow that. ed, thank you. the u.s. trade deficit widened in november for the first time in five months. the trade gap rose 10.4% to 4
