The White House has announced it plans to use a cold-war era law to ease supply chain issues that the administration argues are contributing to higher inflation – a key electoral challenge to Joe Biden’s re-election chances next year as polling consistently suggests voters are not buying his Bidenomics pitch.

I’m hoping for some sort of stimulus check or income tax credit so I can use it to expand the garden. Tired of walking out of the grocery store with $100 worth in a few bags that I can carry with one hand. Fifteen years ago, $100 filled the cart.

This is really effed up. But the sheeple will fall for this feel good rubbish. Along with their open borders, the Biden crew, that is masterminded by Obama, is screwing up America as fast as they can,
