RYAN & WOLF: We're moderate capitalists and our presidential pick is simple

If you want a president who helped deliver 800,000 manufacturing jobs and rebuilt America's rotting infrastructure with $1 trillion investment, then your decision is simple.

During the Trump years, manufacturing got torched with a net loss of 75,000 manufacturing jobs versus hundreds of thousands of gains under Biden-Harris. It is worth noting that the Alliance for American Manufacturing (a non-partisan nonprofit) attributes Trump’s decline mainly to erratic trade policies that he enacted, not the pandemic.   Tim Ryan is a former congressman from Ohio and serves as senior advisor to the Progressive Policy Institute.

Why is that? Because the Biden-Harris administration’s bold, and mostly bipartisan legislative victories, have stemmed the tide of 40 years of deindustrialization. Their administration has added nearly 800,000 manufacturing jobs and is rebuilding America’s rotting infrastructure with over $1 trillion of investment in the modernization of our roads, bridges, broadband and ports. There is no better investment of America’s hard-earned tax dollars than public infrastructure.
