I will observe that the creation of jobs is one of the major functions of government and seeing to it that we have the prosperity that is needed, that people can work, they can raise their families well, that they can heighten expectation of this generation and the next generation for the future of this country. I would say that sending jobs to India or China is not a function of which the administration could be proud. I would say that the administration's got to start functioning and focusing on those questions. I would say they are not. I would say this body, with this legislation, is not focusing on those questions either. It is time we get down to the serious business of addressing jobs, manufacturing, opportunities for Americans and stop all of this piddling around with nonsense that accomplishes nothing in the broad public interest.
