In an attempt to solve the supply chain crisis that his administration helped create, President Biden is gathering his buddies together for a good old meeting. The goal? To pat each other on the back and make some empty promises about bringing down prices for hardworking Americans.
The White House National Economic Council director, Lael Brainard, is all about talking the talk, but can she walk the walk? The jury’s still out on that one. As inflation continues to wreak havoc on the economy, it’s clear that Biden’s team is feeling the heat. And let’s be real, no one wants to deal with skyrocketing prices when they’re trying to put food on the table.

So, what’s the big plan? Well, Biden is pulling out the Defense Production Act to pump $35 million into manufacturing essential medicines. Sounds like a lot, right? Wrong. In the grand scheme of things, $35 million is chump change. It’s like trying to put out a forest fire with a water pistol.
But wait, there’s more! The federal government is also trying to get its act together by sharing data among agencies and developing new tools to monitor supply chains. It’s like they just discovered the internet or something. And of course, they’re throwing renewable energy into the mix because, why not? Nothing says “supply chain resilience” like a sprinkle of green energy, right?
And who’s leading this circus of incompetence? None other than Jake Sullivan, the national security adviser. Because when you think supply chains, you definitely think national security, right? The rest of the cast includes heads of Cabinet departments, trade representatives, economic advisers, and a bunch of other big shots who probably have no clue how the real world works.
At the end of the day, it looks like Biden and his buddies are scrambling to fix a problem they helped create. But hey, at least they’re getting some good photo ops out of it, right?
