Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, during the campaign, then-candidate Trump came to Warren, Michigan, and promised workers: ``You won't lose one plant, I promise you that.'' Well, the President's promises ring hollow. Just this week, General Motors announced plans to close five plants, including factories in Michigan just miles from where President Trump made his broken campaign promise. These plant closures are symbolic of the Trump economy, one that does not work for the American worker. It works for boardroom executives. It works for wealthy shareholders. It works for corporations and the people at the top. I am a Flint, Michigan, kid. General Motors was founded in my hometown. We know what happens when companies move their jobs overseas. We used to have 80,000 auto jobs in my town--now, less than 10,000. These plant closures have a devastating impact on the lives of thousands of people. We need an economy that works for everyone, and we need a President who is willing to work with Democrats and Republicans to craft an industrial policy that puts America to work, that stands up for the American worker. No more hollow promises. ____________________”
