We always do best when we are building with our hands, when we are standing and growing with this economy, putting people to work, manufacturing for a better economy. And this bill turns away 8 years of neglect on infrastructure and starts to rebuild America again and create jobs in the process. This is a jobs bill. Vote ``no'' on this bill and you are killing jobs and surrendering to China and Spain and other countries. Vote ``yes'' and you are creating jobs, investing in this infrastructure, and strengthening America again.
