Orrin Hatch: “I respect the distinguished Senator from Connecticut, as he knows. I will certainly look at this amendment. But…”

“I respect the distinguished Senator from Connecticut, as he knows. I will certainly look at this amendment. But throughout this day I have seen others on the other side continually talk about jobs and loss of jobs like we are not doing anything about it. Nothing could be farther from the truth. This very bill, FSC/ETI, is a very important bill. We call it the Jumpstart Our Business Strength on Jobs bill because it will help us to increase the number of jobs in this country by huge dimensions. It also is a smart thing to do. It also saves us $4 billion in assessed costs with the E.U. in international trade, if we get this done. That is very important. Some of the comments I have heard today, not those of the distinguished Senator from Connecticut--in fact, I exclude his comments--some of the comments I have heard today would have you believe the only way you are going to get jobs is more of the same: More Government, more Government support, more and more controls, more and more approaches towards unionizing America.”
