Catch-22 - you are building new manufacturing plants in the USA because you cannot trust supply chains to China. But, you need items from China to build them.

I suspect that Maryann, who told Bidenhim about the price of chop meat, is now going to have to sit him down again and break this news to him too.

Yet the sycophants are trying to sell the idea that this is the best economic recovery in the last 40 years.

LOL

One thing they could say: manufacturing slowdown in the U.S. will reduce climate change problems.
