Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I too rise today because it's obvious to all of us we need initiatives that make America more competitive. We need to tap into the can-do spirit of Americans and out-innovate the rest of the world, all those things that made this country so great. We must be able to out-innovate, out-educate, and out-build the rest of the world. As my colleague said, we need to Make It in America. And, yes, we can do it at the same time that we address long-term national debt. We can cut waste and balance the budget, but we also have to ensure the opportunity for growth exists. In southern Minnesota we have a rich tradition of small businesses building from the ground up, becoming world class, like the Mayo Clinic. We are leading the Nation in renewable energy, biotech research, and ways of providing food for not only this country but the world. We can support job creation today and in the future by encouraging businesses to make products and innovate here in the United States and sell to the world. Mr. Speaker, when we Make It in America, American families will make it too. Let's create good-paying jobs here at home, and let's rebuild the middle class. ____________________”
