Fact Check By: Benjamin Ruddell, Northern Arizona University
Truthfulness:
Claim:
The United States didn't have a supply chain crisis until Joe Biden became president.
Claim Publisher and Date: on 2021-10-17
The 2021 supply chain problems are due to a number of factors, including long-term issues like decades of offshoring of manufacturing combined with decades of "lean" supply chain management that prioritizes efficiency over resilience. Short-term issues include a shrunken labor force, border closures, and federal stimulus, which has increased demand for limited supplies during a time when we don't have extra capacity.
