This is a really simple debate. Then-Candidate Trump, President Trump, has said: We reward corporations that do the right thing: They pay good wages. They provide decent benefits. They keep their production in the United States. He then went on to say: Penalize companies that don't, but if they are patriotic, you give them a tax break. The Brown-Durbin amendment bill provides roughly $1,500 for every employee when companies do the right thing. Why would we not want to reward American companies that are making things in America? This suit I wear is made by union workers 10 miles from my house. Why wouldn't we want to reward companies that do that instead of reward companies that go overseas? Vote for the Brown-Durbin Patriot Corporation Act Amendment. I yield back my time. The PRESIDING OFFICER. All time has expired. The question is on agreeing to the Brown motion to commit.
