When you have a transportation-created job, where does that work take place? That work takes place right here in America, in the heartlands, in the rural, in the urban areas of our cities and States; and this is why, if the President is really interested in getting jobs to the American people, he would invest in this transportation bill that will keep those jobs right here. They are great construction jobs. There are other suppliers jobs that come from that, and it is a multiplying effect. So if you get those jobs, those jobs create other jobs and, therefore, will bring back a lot of those jobs; but if he is not willing to invest the $375 billion in a transportation bill, then he is not really anxious about getting jobs back to Americans.
