shipping, oil prices, etc. set that in motion...btw, spoke earlier today with the family economics/business PhDs...expectations are that COVID comes sufficiently under control by mid-2022, the "Demand Pull/Supply Push" inflation we're currently experiencing abates and long-term interest rates drop to 2% or slightly less...just one opinion, but an educated one at least.
As for the border issue, see the link attached with U.S. Border Patrol data from 2000 - 2020...note that Obama's #'s were better than his predecessor or successor...Dems aren't really synonymous with "Open Borders"...the most recent surge came from Haitians, by way of Chile, from where they were 'encouraged' to leave...again, not Biden's fault the U.S. was their next best choice.
Supply Shortages...see COVID (we're still waiting for delivery of some furniture that was ordered in August).
COVID Deaths...the deaths are virtually ALL among the unvaccinated...who's telling people not to get vaxxed?...not Biden...I 'Double Dare' you to prove otherwise ;-).
Stay safe over the Holidays!
