GETTING TOUGH ON CHINA
(Mr. MICHAUD asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute.)
Mr. MICHAUD. Mr. Speaker, there's a lot of finger-pointing in
Washington these days about who is blocking our economic recovery, but
there's plenty of blame to go around on both sides of the aisle.
China is literally robbing us of our factories and our manufacturing
jobs, and we haven't done a thing about it. The House must consider the
Senate currency bill immediately, and the President must finally
deliver on his campaign promise and crack down on China
administratively.
Getting tough on China's currency manipulation would create,
conservatively, 1 million jobs without costing the American people a
penny. It's time to stop the excuses and end the partisan bickering.
It's time for the President and the House leadership to go beyond
rhetoric and get the tough job of China currency manipulation taken
care of.
