Worried about the shortages of goods due to the supply chain crisis? You’re right to be. But instead of fixing the problem, President Joe Biden and his team are blaming you for it — and telling Americans to just suck it up. It’s outrageous. And short-sighted.
The images of hundreds of cargo ships waiting to be unloaded isn’t one of those economic issues ordinary people have a hard time understanding. The inability of the transportation system to handle the flow of goods shipped from manufacturers is threatening to not only make it harder to get ordinary items consumers count on but also to short-circuit the annual end-of-year shopping season.
The shortages are feeding worries around kitchen tables across the country. But according to the Biden administration and its apologists, the real villains aren’t the people who are supposed to ensure things like this don’t happen in the world’s richest and freest nation; it’s your fault for wanting to give gifts or buy new things.
The crisis isn’t just threatening a new kind of “War on Christmas” (and Hanukkah) that would put a damper on holiday spirits. The shortages are also driving up prices of essential goods, like used cars and food staples — vital issues for poor families. Plus, retail businesses and other industries — and the people that derive their livings from them — depend on the boost in consumer spending from gift giving. So supply shortages could send an already shaky economy, struggling to recover from the pandemic, into a new downturn.
Worst of all, there’s no such thing as government cheese. Like our money, it’s all paper promises, only backed up by words, not gold or food.
When Trump was in Everything was FINE !!!! Now YOU PAY for keeping BIDEN & Harris !!!!
Because of the poor trade policies of career politicians in DC and greedy CEOs of US manufacturing firms moving plants outside the US for cheap labor we are experiencing these shortages. We shouldn’t have to rely on goods in cargo containers on ships from other countries.
Americans Blame Democrats & they deserve the Blame !!!!
Butti whatever his name is says the supply chain will start moving again when we ALL get vaccinated. I’m sorry, but I guess it won’t improve as I have no intention of taking their killer shot.
