But I would like to specifically ask a question about the CRP program. Right now the biggest problem in that program is flexibility.
Rick Allen
The Public Record
Rick Allen is an American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for Georgia's 12th congressional district since January 6, 2015. A member of the Republican Party, he has focused on issues such as economic development, job creation, and veterans' affairs during his time in office. Allen has been active in promoting policies aimed at supporting small businesses and enhancing the local economy in Georgia.
And yet, what is shocking to me is never once have we heard from the Administration, and this is so concerning right now when we are at such a precipice with our country that we are desperately trying to find energy and fuel.
I don't know about the rest of the country, but in the 12th District of Georgia, during the pandemic, our children got breakfast, lunch, and a snack each day through our school nutrition programs.
What do you all think needs to be done in this country right now to get us right side up? Because, what we are doing right now is unsustainable, particularly when you are talking about the farm bill, and funding some of these input costs…
I don't know how this Administration sleeps at night with what is going on in this country.
Well, from my economic experience, supply and demand is what guides everything.
It is a big deal for them. And so it is a worthy thing. It needs to be developed over time.
Again, the cost of fuel. Has that been addressed? No. There is no feasible plan from this Administration or this Committee to address that.
Until this Administration pushes to do a better job of matching people with these jobs and disincentivizing the COVID culture of not working, these problems that we are talking about today are only going to persist.
What barriers can we remove by legislation to make this happen and get this job done?
