We certainly can rebuild the American manufacturing industry, and there are ways of doing it. That was done in part when the President stepped up using the stimulus money to rebuild General Motors and Chrysler. They're now back, and…

Indeed, we can. This piece of legislation, H.R. 613, is one that I've introduced. It simply says that this money that we want to invest in our sanitation systems--high-speed rail and energy systems, whether those are the wind turbines or…

It belongs to us, Americans, and we ought to be getting our full value. This is not an obscure or new provision. This is the standard procedure. We actually use it for oil extraction, except in deep water. It is something that really will…
