Congresswoman Michele Bachmann recently toured traffic signal manufacturer OMJC Signal Inc. in Waterloo, Iowa. Bachmann said she would support manufacturing jobs by cutting government spending and cutting regulation, and said that doing so would allow OMJC to “grow, grow, grow, grow, grow.” OMJC’s portable, solar-powered signals are used in highway construction projects. CEO Arlen Yost was quoted as saying that his company has benefits greatly from federal infrastructure investment in the midst of the recession, generating 80 percent of its revenue from government contracts.
