congressman tim ryan is on the line
not the evil congressman ryan so stuff as has been a good congressman ron and i
appreciate that clarification to be f_f_a_
by your client mile at the white and
of air time my advertisements
and akron ohio said
him not paul there you go yeah
carson ryan frame or representing ohio's thirteenth district
in fact a by just mentioned in passing
uh... to louisiana day uh... something about congressman ryan and of the person
s named just you could their heads swivel you know took at home and i
should have said that in just a thought
anyway if they cut into ryan the welcome to our program
firstly which a great to have you on the line uh... your you're one of the good
guys you are a co-chair of the house manufacturing caucus
tells about this
well when i first got in boa congress eleven years ago i started working on
uh... then called the berry amendment which is uh... planned you know the
military by specialty medals they should buy american-made specialty battles but
i had a tightening and company
but like most things in washington there is uh... well waiver process of loophole
other to could drive a truck through so american titanium companies went well i
think about ten or eleven a few years back down to about three major ones now
and primarily the because of this perry amendment
and i got into the manufacturer wiser was on a caucus advocating for
manufacturing and knowing ill come from youngstown
akron northeast ohio i know a lot that
about manufacturing in the benefits of it
uh... and higher wages better benefits peta retirement
and manufacturing jobs i really think we need an opti a lot of people think of
manufacturing is hold line
dirty manufacturing but the future is
high-tech uh... three-d_ printing additive manufacturing where do you need
some skills and i think it forever
really have prosperity and in give everybody opportunity i think we we had
he'd ever
national manufacturing strategy
and uh... and so the caucuses an opportunity to bring some uh...
it'll bring some white to it
down totally with you know when adam smith in seventeen seventy-six wrote the
wealth of nations he did not say that the wealth of nations
was the ability of bank srs to borrow money from the government uh... advocate
one percent and loan it out to students at six percent uh... he said that
uh... if a tree branch was laying on the ground it had
no intrinsic value beyond that of nature but if human labor was applied to it and
it was turned into an accidental whittled into an accidental it became
part of the wealth of the nation for several generations right than other
words manufacturing is how a nation's become wealthy in nineteen thirty five
if my memory serves me right
uh... franklin roosevelt pass the buy american act which stipulated that all
federal purchases had to be from american sources
unless there were no american sources available den by believe that it was
during the reagan administration that it just became routine to provide waivers
for these things i even though this this lost on the books
uh... and have you
it you looked into any possibility of disdain
reinforcing that bringing in a brain that backers are going to take new
legislation and what do you guys
doing to try to help at the very least uneo govern space twenty percent of our
g_d_p_ it it could be by huge influence on american manufacture here at say it's
uh... i think a opportunity we we did it to a certain extent and the uh...
american recovery act try to make sure that the transportation
uh... in infrastructure components was
in a lot of that was what would be made america compound but he said there are
always waivers and one of the problems that you hear down here there's a
revolving door between
members staff
lobbyists and so people are always trying to position themselves well for
the for the market place after they leave the government work
and so those people tend to
uh... the establishment tend to support the status quo
so it's really difficult i think there's another approach here to milesplit
economies a lot different
that i was in the nineteen thirty five
the investment in research and development and the public private
partnerships
uh... when you when you see the uh... number of patents that are generated
from a factory uh... of poor uh... because there's always constant
innovation and i think one of the things we can do and and not we even have some
companies will have some manufacturing actors because they want to b next to
the
intellectual
uh... appeal firepower that helping make the product better and whether it's with
community colleges of research institutions you want to have
everybody next week to other why it's so important so important for us to find
uh... research and development the national science foundation or in health
care with the n_i_h_ in and and make these investments department of energy
shortcoming up with the next best thing in our institutions are driving this
and i think that helps keep things uh... here in america and
you know you look at
face book for example
so goldman sachs at face book um... was valued about fifty billion just about
the same is bowing
but boeing employees a hundred sixty thousand people face book employees
a couple of thousand people
i mean these are the kind of investments we need to make that we keep ahead of
the research and development i think it can can help not as much as a astray by
american policy which would be ideal but can help keep things here in america
young totally with you
uh... we're talking with congressman
tim ryan
the representative from they'll the thirteenth district of ohio
and uh... uh...
a colleague argue you know you're in the house he's in the senate of the
a regular friend of our show and guest on this show shira brown

minute left before the hours out sir uh... you tell us about it

that the administration put together a uh... and national added in
manufacturing

uh... department commerce department of defense department of energy forty five
forty forty five million in and public money matched by private money a big dog
corporations to location is in downtown youngstown audio and it's going to
transform manufactured at all the three-dimensional printing the additive
manufacturing instead of
cutting out approach to her piece of metal or copy copy actually you program
it like you have a printer in your office and so that was uh...
