On the recordFebruary 14, 2017
I yield the gentlewoman an additional 1 minute. Ms. DeLAURO. What we ought to do, again, let's penalize those companies that send their jobs overseas. Let's do something about those flawed trade agreements which have lost over 800,000 jobs or more. That is just from the NAFTA agreement. Let's do something else for working people in this country. Or you know what? Perhaps we ought to be drug testing the CEOs of companies who move their mailboxes overseas, export jobs, and who are in the business of hurting American workers. And, by the way, they are getting massive tax breaks at taxpayers' expense. I strongly oppose this rule and this resolution. American workers deserve better.
