At its heart is a tax credit that pulls jobs back to hard-hit communities. Her broader strategy aims to rebuild the infrastructure that keeps trucks running, and the renewable energy that keeps factories going. She also favors \u201cBuy American\u201d regulations for government projects; that means jobs here at home, not outsourced to China.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s no wonder then that Machinists Union President Tom Buffenbarger <a title=\"http:\/\/www.goiam.org\/index.php\/news\/press-releases\/15291-machinists-union-president-welcomes-hillary-clintons-plan-to-restore-us-manufacturing\" href=\"http:\/\/www.goiam.org\/index.php\/news\/press-releases\/15291-machinists-union-president-welcomes-hillary-clintons-plan-to-restore-us-manufacturing\">welcomed<\/a> the new plan.
