California Congressman Mike Honda Discusses American Manufacturing
February 13, 2015 | Barry Matties, I-Connect007Estimated reading time: 17 minutes
Honda: I think there has to be more talk about the supply chain process. The supply chain is ubiquitous, but it’s underground and I think that we need to expose this so that people understand that companies and their products are dependent upon the supply chain groups. Whether it is here in California or in other parts of the state, it’s all encompassing. The policies we pass and the things we do in D.C. that negatively impact our economy...a lot of those guys who don’t support some of the positive things we want to see happen don’t really understand that it impacts their districts, their social services, health and business.
If these legislators know that it's an issue and has an impact, then we have to expose them and let the local folks know that their legislator’s vote impacted their jobs, their economy, and their education and livelihood because of self-interests.
Matties: Congressman Honda, thank you so much. It’s been a great pleasure speaking with you.
