Our supply chains are now gummed up. Now we are starting to see empty shelves. Food is starting to be impacted. Christmas shopping is being affected. Our federal government is using the pandemic as an excuse "but the truth is that government diktats, handouts, and cronyism have catastrophically gummed up our supply chains, and it's getting worse." This quote is from a thoughtful article written by our guest on the Daily Signal. The same administration that made a mess in Afghanistan is now responsible for the bad policies that are severely impacting our supply chains. Basic food supplies eggs, milk, bread, etc., its all being hit. Our guest today holds a Ph.D. in Economics from George Mason University, a B.A. in economics and Political Science from McGill University and has traveled the world. He speaks fluent Spanish, French, Japanese and is conversational in Mandarin. We also take a look at the situation in Taiwan, and whether or not they are feeling the supply chain issues. The answer is revealing. Participants: Dr. Peter St. Onge, Dan Elmendorf
