I want to thank the chairman for yielding. I note that the State of Illinois has received $4.853 billion in bonds up through January of this year. Many of those have gone to communities that are represented by individuals who certainly are not described as Democrats. As a matter of fact, they've gone to communities throughout the State.

It stimulates the economy, it builds jobs, it puts people to work.
