             U.S. MANUFACTURING WILL LEAD US INTO RECOVERY

  (Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. Madam Speaker, Democrats are committed to 
growing our economy and getting Americans back to work. We want to 
continue to support America's manufacturing workers by closing tax 
loopholes that outsource U.S. jobs overseas. These savings will pay for 
hometown tax credits for small businesses to expand American 
manufacturing jobs.
  The Democrats are boosting incentives to create American clean energy 
jobs and build state-of-the-art wind turbines, solar panels and other 
new technologies. We can pay for this by ending subsidies to big oil 
companies, government giveaways to companies that rake in millions of 
dollars.
  We are strengthening the rules that the U.S. Government and its 
contractors buy American, especially to build our transportation, 
energy and communications infrastructure. And we are telling foreign 
countries like China to honor fair trade principles or lose American 
business.
  In just over 1 year we have turned our economy around, going from 
losing nearly 800,000 jobs in the last month of the Bush administration 
to 6 straight months of private sector job growth totaling nearly 
600,000 new private sector jobs created just this year.
  We are heading in the right direction and Democrats are going to 
ensure that U.S. manufacturing will continue to lead us into economic 
recovery. America will make things once again.
