I think this is the issue for me, that this is the crisis. This is just the issue that how can we say that a problem 40 years out from now is the crisis when you look at the numbers here. This is the crisis here. This is the manufacturing jobs loss, and I will go through some quick charts here. Manufacturing jobs lost. In Ohio we lost 216,000. In Florida, the gentleman's home State, they lost almost 73,000. All the red States here have lost more than 20 percent of jobs in their States: Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Michigan, Illinois, all of these. And all throughout the country, the only two States with any kind of net gain are North Dakota and Nevada. That is the crisis and that is the issue that we need to be dealing with here in the United States.
