On the recordNovember 29, 2011
I appreciate your correction of my characterization of the bill. Nonetheless, it's a great piece of legislation; and it's part of the Make It In America agenda, using our tax money, in this case to build the sanitation systems, the water systems, and requiring that that money be used to buy American-made equipment. I have a bill that would do the same thing for solar and wind programs--wind turbines and solar, as well as for trains, buses and the like. It's our tax money; use it to buy American-made equipment. That's part of the Democratic agenda. And it works. I can give some examples a little later. I do want to thank you because there is nobody working harder in this entire Capitol building--Democrat, Republican, or the Senate--than you are in rebuilding the manufacturing center of America, the great State of Ohio. Now, Texas is a little far from Ohio, but you've got a few things going for you in Texas. Let me introduce Sheila Jackson Lee. Thank you for joining us once again.
