"Everything this administration has done has made it worse."
When asked for examples, Onge points to labor and environmental rules, government handouts incentivizing people not to work, as well as union control of ports.
"They're not going to say no to activists, they're not going to say no to unions - that'll be the day; and if anything, they're trying to drive up the handouts," says Onge.
"Yes, people are worried about Christmas but it's starting to bite in the pantry because people can't find bread, eggs, meat, milk. This could be quite serious."
