As the Georgia economy and the U.S. economy looks to bounce back from the effects of the pandemic, a big problem is standing in the way — supplies. From microchips used to make cars, to the materials used to build houses and much more.
But is there anything Congress can do to help relieve the pressure?
Georgia’s 7th District U.S. Rep. Carolyn Bourdeaux joined WABE’s “All Things Considered” Friday to discuss it. A few excerpts from the conversation:
“There are all sorts of places where you find these little hang-ups or glitches or things like that that have occurred that we need to unstick,” said Rep. Bourdeaux. “There’s also this long-term effort that is part of my legislation that fits into that overall picture of trying to make sure that our supply chain is resilient.”
Bourdeaux has introduced legislation called the Supply Chain Act, which she hopes will bring together industries to solve the larger issues at the root cause of the supply chain disruption.
