    D-Wash., chair of the House Progressive Caucus.

     

    Personally, I think by the time they pass it, if they do, it will be so watered down it will be a major disappointment to Dems and Independents and create a disaster for the Dems in the mid-terms.

    White House nearly always loses seats in congress in the first mid-term but this could be a big landslide.

    investing hundreds of $ BILLIONS in transportation infrastructure is no small deal

    but clearly its needed  and americans at home want it ( according to polls )

    but will any repos in congress vote to pass that legislation that americans want ??

    Supply-chain experts agree
    that consumers fueled the everything shortage
    - NOT THE GOVERNMENT


    BUSINESS INSIDER (via Yahoo News)

    • Experts say consumers fueled the supply-chain crisis by buying more goods during the pandemic.

    • Online spending has gone through the roof in recent years, causing backlogs at ports and warehouses.

     

    The global supply chain has been stretched past its limit,
    and experts say consumers are MORE THAN PARTLY to blame.

    More goods flow through the supply chain than ever before

    In 2020, during the height of the pandemic, global consumers spent
    $900 billion more online than in previous years, and spending
    continues to balloon.

       In the first half of 2021, global consumer spending
    was up 22% year-over-year - a $3.2 trillion increase,
    according to Tony Pelli, practice director of security and resilience at BSI.

     "Demand grew so rapidly in the past two years that it's equivalent
       to about 50 MILLION new Americans joining the economy,"
    Jonathan Gold, vice president of supply chain policy at
    the National Retail Federation, told Insider.

    The global supply chain has been stretched past its limit,

    so repos r left with two choices of who to blame since the third choice - blame nobody ust wont fly in their airport .

    either blame consumers for spending so much online for products rather than services

    or blame joe biden for consumers spending so much online for products rather than services 

    i wonder which of those 2 will the chump worshippers on all rw media choose ?

    Well that, yes, and OPEC refusing to increase production (keeping prices of fuel artificially HIGH); and the results of the economic pandemic the trump regime set in motion causing many businesses to layoff workers and production - particularly in HOUSING - which caused problems when consumer demand increased;  and the stupid-ass TARIFFS trump imposed on Canadian lumber -- thus driving up the costs of the already more expensive and far smaller supply of American lumber -- which caused housing costs to SOAR!  Housing is one of if not the LARGEST driver in inflationary costs - since it's the most expensive item most people invest in.   HUGE inflation.

    well theres your big cause for inflation right there        at least a large part of it 

    Well that, yes, and OPEC refusing to increase production (keeping prices of fuel artificially HIGH); and the results of the economic pandemic the trump regime set in motion causing many businesses to layoff workers and production - particularly in HOUSING - which caused problems when consumer demand increased;  and the stupid-ass TARIFFS trump imposed on Canadian lumber -- thus driving up the costs of the already more expensive and far smaller supply of American lumber -- which caused housing costs to SOAR!  Housing is one of if not the LARGEST driver in inflationary costs - since it's the most expensive item most people invest in.   HUGE inflation.

    Then there's the whole microchip shortage - which nowadays go into so many consumer items - and scarcity in supply always drives up the costs to consumers.  More inflation.  And once again a PRIVATE SECTOR shortage issue - NOT THE GOVERNMENT.

    • Experts say consumers fueled the supply-chain crisis by buying more goods during the pandemic.

    • Online spending has gone through the roof in recent years, causing backlogs at ports and warehouses.

     

    The global supply chain has been stretched past its limit,
    and experts say consumers are MORE THAN PARTLY to blame.an_light

     

     

     

    so repos r left with two choices of who to blame since the third choice - blame nobody ust wont fly in their airport .

    either blame consumers for spending so much online for products rather than services or blame joe biden for consumers spending so much online for products rather than services .  i wonder which of those 2 will the chump worshippers on all rw media choose ?

    Gee. That's a toughie.  Will right-wing media (all forms) choose to blame consumers for spending so much during the pandemic that trump-exacerbated? or blame President Biden for consumers spending so much during the pandemic that trump-exacerbated?

    That's a really close call.  Because we all know trump worshippers are very well-read, and totally fair-minded.

    Hmmmmm.  Blame the source of the problem for the problem, which on the surface appears to make LOGICAL SENSE,  OR blame a political opponent who has nothing to do with it for the problem??
