Job creation and the economy is the top priority for Americans today. I think we have turned the corner and the economy is recovering, but we still lag in creating jobs. We have an opportunity today to get behind manufacturing and make sure that high-paying American jobs stay in America for American workers. We can make 'Made in the USA' mean something again. Because we are forced to repeal the ETI, we are taking away an important export incentive from our country's manufacturers. The effect is to raise their taxes just as our recovery is gathering steam. We have a responsibility to protect our domestic manufacturers and give them the ability to compete in the global marketplace.
