Congressman Lipinski believes revitalizing the economy is the most important task facing our nation today. Thousands of Third District residents are out of work or have seen their hours and wages cut. Just as they continue to fight for their share of the American Dream, Congressman Lipinski is fighting for them and to make sure more do not suffer their fate. He has introduced a bipartisan bill to help restore the flow of credit to manufacturers, cosponsored legislation to stop illegal currency manipulation by foreign nations that costs American jobs, and led 28 members of the House of Representatives in demanding that any climate change legislation include vital protections for American manufacturers. Having brought home $126 million in the last federal transportation bill, he is fighting to pass a new transportation bill now to put people to work rebuilding our infrastructure. He also continues to lead the fight for Buy American legislation that will ensure our tax dollars are spent at home. Meanwhile, with six unemployed for every job opening, he recognizes how difficult life is for many and has voted to extend unemployment benefits to help those struggling to find work. Congressman Lipinski is focused on ensuring America rebuilds its economy on a foundation of real profits, not creative accounting, financial sleight-of-hand, and mountains of debt.
