“we have made some difficult decisions over the past few months. After years of failed policies that have dragged our economy into the ditch, we still have many more difficult decisions ahead. The next big decision will be for Republicans and Democrats working together on a final version of the jobs bill. Now we have an opportunity to focus on a bill that will rebuild our economy from the ground up by putting Americans back to work right now. The jobs bill we passed yesterday creates jobs--up to 4 million of them--and saves many more by investing in our roads, bridges, water systems, energy facilities, and our schools. This is long-term infrastructure that will support our economy for generations to come. The jobs bill also invests in what matters-- people. It invests in health care and an education, puts cops on the street. Where I come from, we call things as we see them. The word ``stimulus'' is a Washington, DC, word that doesn't mean much in my book. That is why, from day one, I have called this the jobs bill because that is exactly what it is. You are either for jobs or you are against jobs.”
