is the Senator aware that within the JOBS package, not only does it stop the tariffs from going into effect and being raised by 1 percent a month, but within this JOBS package, the provision known as the Invest in the USA Act would bring over $300 billion back into the United States to be reinvested to create American jobs? One estimate from a very well-respected economist, Alan Sinai, has said 660,000 jobs would be created by that one provision alone. Is the Senator aware that by killing this bill, at least 660,000 jobs just in that one small provision will be killed along with it?
