As the Biden White House comes under increasing scrutiny about its response to the nettlesome supply chain crisis, the administration is also finding itself having to respond to a growing number of self-inflicted errors.
Essentially, at least three high-profile administration officials, in one way or another, have all in recent days downplayed the supply chain meltdown that's manifested itself in everything from clogged ports to empty store shelves. There was White House chief of staff Ron Klain, for example, who a few days ago retweeted a post decrying the whole supply chain meltdown as a "high-class problem." What does that mean, exactly? Well, the somewhat MIA Transportation Secretary, Pete Buttigieg, put it like this in a TV interview: President Biden "successfully guided this economy out of the teeth of a terrifying recession." The implication is that we're all now going wild buying so many things with our post-recession money that we're also -- whoops! -- clogging the darn supply chain.
