On the recordJuly 29, 2010
Americans are asking us to stop the chatter about procedures and begin to do the work that they need to rebuild this Nation. That's the business of this Democratic leadership, of which I am proud to associate with. My friends talk about the story of the Recovery Act, and they are absolutely right. We've been so busy with our elbow to the grindstone that we haven't been able to tell the story of the many, many jobs created by the Recovery Act. But watch us in the month of August, when we go home and shine the light on the many, many jobs. In the 18th Congressional District, over $800 million, 97 projects, job-creating, bridge-making programs to help those in that district. So today we take another leap of faith. And I hope that we can get an understanding about what this bill does. The bill closes the loopholes, something Americans are very clear about, that are given to corporations to take jobs overseas.
