              REAL SOLUTIONS FOR MANUFACTURING IN MICHIGAN

  (Mr. THANEDAR asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THANEDAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to talk about manufacturing. 
Manufacturing is not just what we do in Michigan. It is who we are. 
Detroit built the Motor City, the Big Three automakers, and America's 
middle class.
  Today, when we still lead in auto manufacturing, Michigan faces some 
of the Nation's highest unemployment rates while families are 
struggling with rising costs.
  Mr. Trump promised that tariffs would protect our jobs. Instead, they 
have driven up the cost of steel, aluminum, and auto parts while plants 
close and workers are left behind. When a plant shuts down in Detroit 
or Wayne County, it doesn't just hurt the workers inside of it. It 
hurts every business, schools, and families.
  We need real solutions, like job training, stronger unions, and 
building the future of mobility right here in Detroit.
