Overall, 53.7 percent of the more than 1,000 Americans surveyed in the October poll, announced supply chain shortages have individually hindered them in the United States. The number jumps even higher to 67.7 percent among Republican respondents. While just 42.4 percent of Democrats announced they noticed and have been affected by the supply chain crisis, 50.6 percent of independents are certain they have “personally encountered delays or shortages.”
These numbers just add to the growing frustration among Americans over skyrocketing inflation and rampant staffing shortages fueled by government handouts under President Joe Biden.

When you add inflation into the mix, consumers are also paying more for products and have less money to spend,” announced Mark Meckler, President of Convention of States Action, in an announcement. “In this economic environment, it’s hard to believe that President Biden continues to be hell-bent on aggressively making America less energy independent and thus raising energy prices, pushing for a massive spending bill that will raise taxes on overburdened taxpayers, and pursuing mandates that are putting people out of work. Unfortunately, Washington, DC now represents the single greatest threat to the well-being of American families.”

“Here’s the deal: If you spent $3 on your coffee this morning, that’s more than what 55 major corporations paid in taxes in recent years,” Biden wrote. “It’s wrong — and it’s got to change.”

“Suddenly, retailers and manufacturers are over-ordering because of these supply chain issues, and that’s just leading to essentially an even worse scenario,” Jonathan Savoir, CEO of supply chain technology company Quincus, told CNBC’s “Squawk Box Asia” on Monday.
