Make it in America

Floor Speech

Ms. HOCHUL. Mr. Speaker, this summer I heard one message over and over as I visited my district: We need to create a jobs program to get our people back to work.

I was sent to Washington to work with anybody and everybody who's willing to put aside the partisan bickering and get the job done for Americans. Yet we wasted a tremendous amount of time this summer fighting over the debt ceiling and issues that had nothing to do with creating jobs in this country. Starting today, let's get back to work.

I've got to tell you, folks, I was also very offended when I was at an Akron ``Congress on Your Corner,'' when a Marine held up a cap that said ``United States Marine Corps'' on the top and it was made in China. I've got an amazing company right back in my district, New Era Cap, that could have made that.

Let's get people back to work working in America. Make it in America. Let's get the job done.
