Give America a chance and America will outcompete the world. Give American business a chance, and it will outcompete China and the world. Give American workers a chance, a level playing field, and we will outcompete the world. We can build things, make things, and grow things better in this country than anywhere in the world if we give a level playing field. We have a chance once again today to level that playing field and let America win again. We can do that by closing this outsourcing loophole that rewards companies for sending jobs overseas. And we can do it in a way that also provides relief to our small business owners, who are trying to work hard and play by the rules. We have a chance to do two great things today. We have a chance to level that playing field so that America can win in manufacturing, in agriculture, in forestry, in farming. These are things we can do better than anyone when we don't have the trade deals and the tax code that rewards all the worst things of sending those much-needed American jobs overseas.
