Americans are to be blamed! TIME magazine chose the everyoneman as its shield against President Joe Biden’s economic disasters and supply chain problems that have hampered the U.S. economy.
The liberal magazine was blunt in its absurd condescension in a story headlined, “How American Shoppers Broke the Supply Chain.” The story bleated how “America has long been gobbling up more goods from overseas than we send back, but in the past year, spending has gone bonkers.” The smear piece even had a subsection headlined, “Our buying habits are hurting the U.S. economy.” Of course, TIME mentioned nothing about how Biden and the Federal Reserve “squeezed the supply side with incentives not to work, restrictive mandates, and the promise of more regulation and higher taxes. The result is 5% inflation and supply-chain disruptions that CEOs say will stretch well into 2022 and maybe beyond,” as The Wall Street Journal October 8. In fact, neither Biden nor the Federal Reserve appear anywhere in the TIME article.
A sordid “combination of astronomical government spending and money creation plus tightly regulated human interaction has resulted in too many dollars chasing too few goods,” as Wall Street Journal James Freeman, assistant editor, pointed this out. But this apparently didn’t matter to TIME, as it whined about how the supply chain was broken in part because “of the sheer volume of stuff that Americans are buying, especially online.” Even more disgusting was an insult TIME chose to include from Beacon Economics International Trade Advisor Jock O’Connell who reportedly said: “‘Americans have become singularly impatient consumers, unlike their peers in much of the rest of the world.’”
Below is an example of how determined TIME was in protecting Biden, and pointing the finger at citizens that he represents.
Although consumer spending is generally good for the economy overall, it can also be detrimental to the environment. bottlenecks created by America’s huge appetiteEconomic growth is being hampered by supply chain bottlenecks. Commerce Department reported last week that the U.S. economy experienced a 2% growth rate from July to September. That is significantly lower than the 6.7% increase it recorded the prior quarter. [emphasis added]
But TIME isn’t alone in trying to blame Americans for the economic disasters Biden and company are inflicting. Just recently, Axios tried to blame “unruly customers” as being responsible for the labor shortages in the U.S. It’s absurd argument was that “increasingly violent and combative customers,” angry about “long wait times and mask mandates,” were causing workers to quit, hamstringing a recovery that hinges in part on employees “returning to work.”
Conservatives are being attacked. Write a letter to Time (mail@time.com) and demand the publication stop blaming Americans for the Biden administration’s terrible economic policies.
