[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 156 (2010), Part 10] [House] [Pages 14359-14360] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]{time} 1030 MAKE IT IN AMERICA (Mr. CARNAHAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.) Mr. CARNAHAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of the Democrats' Make it in America initiative. [[Page 14360]] In my home State of Missouri, we make things. Manufacturing has always been a source of enormous pride and good-paying jobs for Missourians, particularly in the part of the State surrounding St. Louis that I represent. It's no secret that American manufacturing has had some hard times, but with Make it in America, we are reinvigorating that spirit of making things of American entrepreneurship. We are working to promote American jobs and put an end to policies that ship our jobs overseas. That is why we need to close tax loopholes that allow for outsourcing of U.S. jobs. We can use that savings to fund hometown tax credits to help small businesses expand American manufacturing. We are already strengthening the rules, ensuring the U.S. and its contractors buy American when building our transportation, energy and communications infrastructure. We must keep going and fulfill the Make it in America agenda to ensure a new prosperity by promoting the competitiveness and innovation of the American people. ____________________
