Mr. Hoyer, none of this would be happening were it not for your leadership. You brought us together, 34 Members of the Democratic Caucus, each with one or more specific pieces of legislation to move the Make It In America agenda, so that Americans can have those middle class jobs and beyond and above and, in the process, grow the American economy. It is the fair way to do it. It is the right way to do it; grow the American economy in a fair way so that those middle class jobs are there. It is the future; it has been the past; it can be the future with the legislation, and each one of these ideas--trade, taxes, energy, labor, education, research and infrastructure--the 34 Members of your caucus brought forth legislation in each and every one of those areas.
