this is a simple choice for our colleagues. It is either vote for jobs or vote to limit the number of jobs we have the potential to create. By independent studies, this inclusion, repatriation in the JOBS bill, will create 660,000 jobs. It will reduce the deficit by $75 billion over 5 years, and it will bring to each of our local economies new energy. The choice is to leave it offshore, doing little good for the American people, or to bring it here, to give companies for 1 year the chance that a walk-back with their capital will reemploy the American people and allow them to compete with other multinational companies from other nations, which nations allow them that kind of privilege. We are saying, let them do it for 1 year and we will create 660,000 jobs.
