The number one problem in our district is jobs.  We need jobs, good paying jobs, jobs that cannot be exported.   It’s said we are becoming a service economy, that manufacturing jobs are not important.  That is wrong!  We need manufacturing jobs.  I’m a manufacturer and I know in my company one job in the manufacturing part of my factory can create as many as four other jobs elsewhere in the company.  That means if you create a manufacturing job you just created as many as 5 jobs — now that is job real growth!  I’ve started businesses, and created jobs.  I know how it’s done and the jobs I created aren’t going overseas!  But, the policies of our government are preventing jobs from being created; policies of massive spending programs, staggering debts, and looming tax increases.  These are holding back business growth and job creation.
