How correct you are. Thank you very much, Ms. Sutton, and thank you for bringing up the issue of infrastructure. Infrastructure's a problem all across this Nation. I spoke earlier about the use of our tax dollars to support infrastructure so that we buy American, so that we can make it in America. And those are middle class jobs. Once we start making things in America, we start making middle class jobs. The American Jobs Act has the potential of putting 2 million Americans back to work, many of them construction. Those are not just temporary things that are going to be built. Those are permanent foundations upon which the economy will grow in the future. So it's a sanitation system; it's a water system; it's a highway. That is a solid investment that gives the American economy a foundation upon which it can build, and immediate jobs. What does it take?
