WASHINGTON, DC \u2013 Hoy, el Senado de EE. UU. aprob\u00f3 una enmienda redactada por el Senador Jeff Merkley de Oreg\u00f3n y el Senador Sherrod Brown de Ohio para extender las disposiciones de Buy America a la infraestructura de agua. La enmienda, que se agreg\u00f3 a la Ley de Desarrollo de Recursos H\u00eddricos (WRDA), fortalecer\u00e1 y apoyar\u00e1 la fabricaci\u00f3n estadounidense al garantizar que se utilicen m\u00e1s materiales fabricados en Estados Unidos en proyectos de infraestructura de agua. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cSi no hacemos cosas en Estados Unidos, no tendremos una clase media en Estados Unidos\u201d, dijo Merkley. \u201cLas empresas manufactureras estadounidenses crean buenos empleos con salarios dignos. Todos nos beneficiamos cuando el dinero de nuestros impuestos se destina a crear m\u00e1s empleos y \u00e9xito en Estados Unidos\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n\u201cEsta es una gran noticia para los trabajadores y fabricantes de Ohio. Cuando invertimos en infraestructura estadounidense, tambi\u00e9n debemos invertir en la fabricaci\u00f3n estadounidense\u201d, dijo Brown. \u201cSabemos c\u00f3mo hacer cosas en este pa\u00eds y deber\u00edamos usar los d\u00f3lares de los contribuyentes estadounidenses para impulsar la fabricaci\u00f3n nacional tanto como sea posible\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Durante muchos a\u00f1os, las disposiciones de Buy America han establecido el principio b\u00e1sico de que cuando gastamos d\u00f3lares de los contribuyentes federales en proyectos de infraestructura p\u00fablica, las empresas y los trabajadores estadounidenses deben hacer el trabajo. Con el respaldo de un proceso abierto y competitivo impulsado por el mercado, las reglas de Buy America han proporcionado la base para millones de millas de carreteras, puentes, trenes ligeros y subterr\u00e1neos, y millones de empleos bien remunerados. <\/p>\n
La enmienda ampl\u00eda los est\u00e1ndares actuales para carreteras, puentes y v\u00edas f\u00e9rreas para cubrir WIFIA (Ley de Innovaci\u00f3n en el Financiamiento de la Infraestructura del Agua) proyectos de infraestructura del agua financiados por el gobierno federal.<\/p>\n
El Senador Merkley es un campe\u00f3n de la manufactura estadounidense. El a\u00f1o pasado, el Senador Merkley realiz\u00f3 una gira estatal "Hecho en Oreg\u00f3n" para averiguar qu\u00e9 est\u00e1 funcionando para los fabricantes de Oreg\u00f3n y c\u00f3mo podemos expandir su \u00e9xito.<\/p>\n
