The ongoing global supply chain crisis is impacting our day-to-day life.  Whenever you arbitrarily shut down the economy you are going to have major supply chain disruptions.  The major labor shortage is making it that much worse.  Combined with inflation and increasing energy costs, American families are facing extreme uncertainty heading into this year’s Thanksgiving and Christmas Season.

Instead of prioritizing putting an end to the global supply chain crisis, some Democrats believe we should just “lower expectations.”  Welcome back to the 1970s when stagflation was king and President Carter proclaimed the country to be in a “malaise” caused by profound distress.  The American people deserve leadership that delivers solutions, not mischaracterizations.

That’s why my Republican colleagues and I are fighting for Congress to prioritize ending the global supply chain crisis instead of considering more than $1 trillion in additional cradle to grave entitlement spending and tax increases.  The natural result of these policies would lead to even higher inflation and a stagnant economy.  This week, I joined my colleagues in demanding President Biden step up, reevaluate his Administration’s priorities, and to work with Congress to end this supply chain crisis to prevent further economic damage.  You can read the letter here.

Sincerely,

David Rouzer
