Democrats are committed to building an economy where anyone can make it in America. The oil spill compels us to do this by encouraging growth in green energy. We can do this by creating new manufacturing jobs, by improving access to credit for small businesses and investing in our infrastructure, our schools, and our communities. We can encourage job creation here at home by closing tax loopholes for companies that ship jobs overseas and ending giveaways to special interests. Despite Republican obstruction of our efforts on behalf of the American people, Democrats have delivered 6 consecutive months of private sector job growth to the American people. We are moving in the right direction, and in America we refuse to go backward. Until every American out of work can find a good paying job, we in Congress must make it our job to pass legislation that will spur economic growth and create good opportunities for all Americans.
