“The other senators from California in the other political party have told you the construction of this factory is a good idea—that it will bring thousands of jobs to the city of Fictoria—that it will help the local economy. They have repeated these things so many times that if I hear the same thing again, I am going to die of laughter. This factory will only give the city of Fictoria a few hundred jobs. The Napa Manufacturing Company will be using material made in a foreign country with cheap labor rather than using American-made material.
