More than 100 House Republicans warned on Wednesday that President Biden’s multi-trillion dollar social spending bill is only likely to exacerbate the nation’s supply chain shortages.

Rep. Sam Graves, the top Republican on the House Transportation Committee, and more than 100 other GOP lawmakers wrote in an open letter to the White House that Mr. Biden’s emphasis on tax hikes, creating new entitlement programs and imposing stringent environmental regulations would cripple the ability of businesses to respond to the blockages plaguing both consumer and industrial goods trapped in the supply pipeline.

“Multiple factors have contributed to the nation’s supply chain crisis, but one factor that is being overlooked is how the collection of harmful policies being pushed by the president and his party [are] making matters worse – not better,” Mr. Graves told The Washington Times. “Policies that encourage unemployment and worker shortages… lead to an inflationary tax increase … new regulations and prohibitions that drive up the cost of everything including energy … all of these policies are causing further breakdowns in the supply chain.”

That one of the “rules for radicals” strategy. Overwhelming the system until it collapses.

100 will resist and get browny points. Maybe more. Maybe almost all. But five or six will cave and be praised by Nanshy et al. for being “bipartisan,” right before they’re re-districted out of a job.
