When the gentleman speaks about manufacturing, both of you have spoken about manufacturing in its different aspects. Look at what is happening today. The private sector is bringing manufacturing home because of the low cost of energy, and we are producing more of our own natural gas because of the low cost of energy. The government just needs to do its part. Don't countermand what the private sector is doing. Do what the gentleman says. Don't take jobs from Youngstown. Help Youngstown to rebuild Youngstown. It's going to be built anyway. Now is the time to rebuild it. So I thank the gentleman for yielding to us in this very important discussion every week.
