And I'm here to sign the highway bill because I believe by signing this bill, when it's fully implemented, there's going to be more demand for the machines you make here. (Applause.) And because there's more demand for the machines you make here, there's going to be more jobs created around places like this facility. (Applause.) So thanks for letting us come. ... And that's why I'm proud to be here to sign this transportation bill, because our economy depends on us having the most efficient, reliable transportation system in the world. If we want people working in America, we've got to make sure our highways and roads are modern. We've got to bring up this transportation system into the 21st century. I mean, you can't expect your farmers to be able to get goods to market if we don't have a good road system. You can't expect to get these Caterpillar products all around the United States if we don't have a good road system. ... And these projects will require workers. Highways just don't happen; people have got to show up and do the work to refit a highway or build a bridge. And they need new equipment to do so. So the bill I'm signing is going to help give hundreds of thousands of Americans good paying jobs.
Ah MR president-- you said "We've got to bring up this transportation system into the 21st century." while you make the highways of America betterer and Biggerer for the 21st century--- WIll the Chinese be going into space and utilizing space based resources to drive colonization of the Solar System during the 21 st century ?
