I'm seeing this a lot and I'm curious what anyone expects the government to do?
Private companies make the shit and set up the supply chains. Should the government shell out money to them instead while they continue to gouge prices? Should the government buy up a bunch of stock and give it out? Should the government stay out of it and let the businesses figure it out? Because all 3 of those options are L's to a large group of voters and they'll be villanized not matter which way they go.
On the other hand, giving money to foreign nations is fairly typical operating procedure for governments across the globe and usually a part of the budget.
