Hart: In emergencies, Congress can act

Dr. Chad HartChad Hart, associate professor, was interviewed in a March 27 Kokomo Perspective story, "Senate stimulus includes aid for ag."

“When you think of the big bailout of the great recession of 2008-2009, this is really about three times the size of that,” says Chad Hart, an agricultural economist at Iowa State University.

The good news, Hart says, is that the situation shows that when there is an emergency, Congress is still capable of acting—and of acting quickly and forcefully.

“It shows Congress can get its act together,” Hart says.
