On Friday’s edition of Bloomberg’s “Balance of Power,” Rep. Jonathan Jackson (D-IL) argued against cuts to SNAP benefits because “people are aching” due to inflation, but argued that’s not Joe Biden’s fault and there were supply chain issues.
After discussing crop insurance, Jackson said, [relevant remarks begin around 1:05:50] “I’ve come to look at SNAP as food insurance and family insurance that the government uses. So, when people cannot do for themselves, I think the government should help them. When the people can do for themselves, the government needs to step back. Right now, people are aching. There’s been auto inflation, there’s been housing inflation, there’s education — if you will — the cost of education inflation. But this farm bill doesn’t even address the deal with food inflation. And so, to think that we could talk about taking $30 billion out of the budget to attack women and children, we’re going to take a stand and we’re not going to concede an inch.”

Son of Jesse Jackson. Brother of Jesse Jackson Jr.
So, when people cannot do for themselves, I think the government should help them.
He is lying about a bunch of BS in order to get in the other lie that it is not BeijingBiden’s printing of extra bills that causes inflation.
He is a Democrat, a blithering idiot on all things economic.
Don’t work. The government has lots of money to give out.
SS recipients got 3% raise.
SNAP recipients got 12 +++% raise.
Apparently, This Jackson is just as dumb as the older ones.
He’s saying the usual liberal crap - except (at least in the excerpt, because I am not going to read the whole article) he left out “corporate greed”.
Hello everyone. I’m very pleased to join you all today as we mark the launch of the National Foreign Trade Council’s Alliance for National Security and Competitiveness.
The launch of this alliance could not be more timely. As President Biden often says, we are at a critical inflection point in our national security.
The COVID pandemic exposed serious vulnerabilities in our supply chains and we took immediate steps to make them more resilient and efficient. As our globe heats up to record temperatures and the future of our climate continues to hang in the balance, we are forging an innovative, sustainable path forward. Russia continues to wage an unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine and its people. Authoritarian regimes have become increasingly emboldened, posing an existential threat to the rules-based economic order we have helped establish across the globe. And finally, we are engaged in a high-stakes, must-win technology competition with those regimes that will determine the future of our economic landscape for generations to come.
It’s a new world, and this era calls for new methods of understanding and responding to our national security – one that places our economic strength and toolkits at its center.
At the Department of Commerce, we are focused on national security more than ever. We are investing in our tools today to ensure we’re prepared for whatever challenges we may face in our future national security environment.
But we can’t do this alone. The private sector is a critical partner across all of our national security priorities to protect the American people, preserve our natural environment in the face of climate change, and promote U.S. leadership and partnership in a free, fair, prosperous, and secure economic order.
Let me give you five examples of how we have already worked together for the common good.
SUPPLY CHAINS
Increasing U.S. supply chain resilience is, without question, a national security imperative for the Commerce Department as we aim to free ourselves from dangerous dependencies. Resilient U.S. supply chains depend on close collaboration with private industry, working with government, academia, and others to take comprehensive action aimed at ensuring our competitive edge.
That’s why Commerce has launched a first-of-its-kind Supply Chain Center for the federal government that will serve as the analytic engine for supply chain resilience policy action within the federal government.
Our Supply Chain Center, housed inside our International Trade Administration, will aid us in getting ahead of supply chain challenges, set priorities for policy focus and action based on data-driven risk analysis, be a force multiplier in improving the targeting and effectiveness of U.S. Government investments, and serve as a partner with industry in building resilient supply chains and supporting U.S. businesses in leading the industries of the future.
As we get this vital work off the ground, I am excited to announce that Commerce will convene a diverse array of public and private sector leaders at a Supply Chain Data and Analytics Summit later this year. This will be a unique opportunity for the Department to gather expert input to inform our supply chain risk assessment models and tools and identify opportunities to facilitate expanded sharing of data and analytic capabilities.
I look forward to further collaboration with this group on this front.
Reminds me of the endless meeting that used to take place, that accomplished nothing except to waste valuable time, I used to have to attend.
The supply chain worked fine under Trump, it even worked fine under Obama. Fauci and those at NIH division of NIAID (National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases), was a major player behind Covid to begin with, but the disaster is the result of demanding that only a vaccine will end the Covid "plandeic" while insinuating that known therapeutics existed were ineffective, which was a lie. They knew by 2005 that hydroxychloroquine was very effective against SARS when it hit in 2002-2004. The lie was used because the "vaccines" could not receive EUS if an existing therapeutic existed that was effective. The resulting ridiculous lockdowns in states to flatten the curve was the problem. The supply chain problem is one that is being purposely foisted upon the citizens once again, just like the Covid-19 scam.

I thought the issue was eliminating people from snap that don’t belong on it, not reducing the amounts.
He is complaining that poor food stamp users cannot find the lobster, steak and shrimp that they “need” to support their starving families because the supply of the luxury food stuffs they usually purchase with the stamps is so low.
When the dims cry about “corporate greed”, they never call out which corporations are greedy. They will target the oil companies and some time pharmaceuticals but calling out specific companies? No way. These are dimrat donors.
