“today the American public should ask a simple question, Where are the jobs? We hear the Republicans talk about increases in the gross domestic product, but increases in the GDP do not equal jobs. It does not pay bills or help families. Since this President came into office, we have lost 3 million jobs in this country, and 2.5 million of those jobs have been in the manufacturing sector. So the American public ought to ask the question, Where are the jobs? What is the Republican response? They are going to bring to this floor a bill that grants tax credits to American companies that take jobs overseas. That is right, two-thirds of the benefits in the so-called manufacturing jobs bill that the Republicans are introducing would give tax breaks to companies creating jobs in China and other countries. Today the American public has every right to ask the question, Where are the jobs for Americans? Where are the tax credits for American small businesses to help them expand and grow jobs? Unfortunately, they are going overseas. Mr. Speaker, where are the jobs?”
