Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, tomorrow, President Trump is scheduled to arrive in Toledo, Ohio, for his first campaign rally of 2020. Does he know that Ohio has lost 286,332 manufacturing jobs since the first NAFTA went into effect and even more jobs during his Presidency? President Trump will not bring back those jobs. And since his NAFTA 2 passed, called the USMCA, the U.S. automotive companies have announced plans to expand production in Mexico. GM is closing numerous U.S. plants, including in Ohio, while making popular models in Mexico. Ford is even making its new electric Mustang in Mexico, the first Mustang not to be made in the United States of America. American manufacturing workers who find reemployment are typically taking pay cuts. What is more, the President has nothing to say or do about providing for pensions for over 60,000 Ohioans who are going to have them cut substantially because he does not support the Butch Lewis Act, which passed this Congress in this House and is waiting for passage over in the other body. Mr. Speaker, I would like to end my comments by saying that maybe the President, when he lands, should announce that Toledo's F-16 Air Guard fighter wing should get a complement of F-35s, which that unit has duly earned. ____________________”
