                           MAKE IT IN AMERICA

  (Mr. VEASEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. VEASEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to talk about the Democrats' plan to 
get the middle class working in America again. The Democrats' Make It 
In America plan will boost job growth by giving employers tax 
incentives for jobs created in the U.S. It also raises the minimum wage 
and updates our current infrastructure.
  I want the constituents that I serve in the Dallas-Fort Worth 
metroplex to know that me and other Democrats are here, working hard 
for America to bring back these good-paying jobs.
  Also, Mr. Speaker, I wanted everyone to know that I started my Marc 
Means Business initiative, where I work spending time at different jobs 
in the district that I serve.
  This month, I worked at a concrete batch plant as a laborer at a 
downtown highway construction site in Dallas. Not only do I get to see 
what the constituents that I serve go through every day on the site, 
but this also highlights just how important rebuilding our 
infrastructure is to the U.S. economy.
  Let's give middle class Americans a jump-start and continue to work 
on policies that expand our economy and get Americans back to work.
