Buttigieg on supply chain gridlock: Biden's plan is working
afn ^ | 10/19/21 | Chris Woodward

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg doesn't appear to be concerned that U.S. supply chain issues likely will continue into 2022.

"That's the one thing he is correct about," says Peter St. Onge, research fellow for The Heritage Foundation, a center-right think headquartered in Washington, D.C. "This administration has no plan, boots on the grounds are saying it's getting worse, and Wall Street and companies are warning [the issue could persist into] 2022, possibly even 2023."

Buttigieg made his comments to Jake Tapper on CNN's "State of the Union" program, adding that part of what is happening isn't just the supply side:

"It's the demand side. Demand is off the charts. Retail sales are through the roof. And if you think about those images of ships, for example, waiting at anchor on the West Coast? Every one of those ships is full of record amounts of goods that Americans are buying – because demand is up, because income is up, [and] because the president has successfully guided this economy out of the teeth of a terrifying recession.

He’s right if the plan involves wrecking the economy.

Veteran operators who have a set schedule make approximately $250,000 a year, while others who receive daily work assignments make $200,000, said labor consultant Jim Tessier, who represents longshoremen in disputes against the union.

Read today’s Journal of Commerce - “LA - Long Beach terminals say 24/7 push unrealistic”

Clueless Joe to his caretakers - “What is the supply chain? Is it metal or plastic?”

...because the president has successfully guided this economy out of the teeth of a terrifying recession.

What utter BS. The 2020 downturn was slight and short because President Trump had the economy hitting on all cylinders when the plandemic was launched.

The BIG recession is staring us in the face: "The U.S. Economy May Be Facing Another Recession, New Research Suggests," by Pedro Nicolaci da Costa, October 14, 2021, Forbes.

Oh, the plan to divide America and destroy the Republic?

That plan?

Yeah, that's working like a charm.

Communism in America. Just tell the public things are fine, the media will support the claim, the public is too stupid to believe what they’re experiencing versus what their “leaders” tell them.

I have seen the Democrat PowerPoint presentation to solve the inflation and supply chain crisis.

There was one slide:

“Lie!”
