The Biden government has been leaning heavily on a law initially designed to fortify national security, to implement its economic strategies, particularly in promoting green energy projects and boosting the production of certain goods to rectify economic matters.

Once again, the Defense Production Act (DPA) was brought into action by President Joe Biden in late November. Devised initially in 1950 amid the demands of the Korean War, the DPA empowers the president to regulate domestic industries indispensable for national security.

This recent invocation was to channel $35 million towards domestic manufacturing for certain medical components to tackle supply shortages, as the White House explained.

The repeated usage of the DPA is not without precedent. The previous administration under President Donald Trump expanded the use of the act during the coronavirus outbreak for increasing production of items essential to national health.

There has been a rising worry among economists about the frequent, expanded deployment of the DPA, as it seems to magnify executive power and extend government influence over areas not directly linked to national security.
