I am supporting this bill. I am supporting it because of jobs. I do not want to cut off our noses to spite our faces. If we lose this airline industry, we lose all jobs. We have to save it to save jobs, and then come back next week to make sure that we finish the job. It is indeed an incomplete job. We must finish the job, but we must not lose it all. My heart goes out when I look at the New York City skyline and no longer see our twin towers. And I think if the towers were still standing, we could repair it and we could keep jobs in the building. But my heart is lost because there is no longer any towers on the skyline, and we have lost all of those jobs. Let us not lose any more jobs.
