The Democrats' budget would protect seniors' health care and retirement. It would create jobs in America through rebuilding our infrastructure and support jobs by making sure our Nation's manufacturers get to invest in the research and development that they need.

I thank my colleague from Maryland for his leadership. We need to invest in America's future, including our hard-working men and women.
