He highlighted his plan for funding in the bipartisan infrastructure bill, calling ports critical to the nation's economy.
Bare shelves and frustrated customers unable to find common items like spray paint, electric boxes, and plastic tarps. Scenes like this are becoming common at Falkenhan's Hardware in Baltimore. "It's just crazy because I've never dealt with anything like this," owner Deborah Falkenhan said. "I'm in my 24th year and never had to deal with something like this where I couldn't get product."
Falkenhan's family has run this independent hardware store since the 1960s and is now dealing with the same supply chain problems that are hampering both businesses and consumers throughout the country.
"Well, you have to kind of explain to the customer that we can't get it," Falkenhan said. "If my supplier doesn't have it, my supplier can't get it if it doesn't come into the country or it isn't made where they can get it, where it's made in the United States."
