Each month the numbers come in, and the signs are clear: Our economy is growing in the United States. Consumers agree. Consumer confidence rose to the highest level in more than 2 years this month. I believe our economy is on the rebound largely because we are making the move back to a manufacturing and production economy and away from the paper economy of Wall Street. Our manufacturing sector is up for the 10th month in a row. Manufacturing has added more than 125,000 jobs this year. Companies like Acutec in Crawford County, a manufacturer of aerospace parts, have been performing well and hiring new employees despite the recession. A strong economy is one that makes things, produces goods and products that people want to buy here and all over the world. American can-do attitude and entrepreneurship will continue to lead us out of this recession. I am proud to support our American manufacturers, and I urge my colleagues to do the same.
