   U.S. President Barack Obama says the transformation in American
   manufacturing has cost some people jobs, but he says Americans do not
   have to settle for a "lesser future."
   The president says Congress should reform the tax code and reward
   manufacturers keeping jobs at home.
   During Saturday's weekly address from a Boeing manufacturing plant in
   Seattle, Washington, Obama hailed the company for hiring workers inside
   the United States.
   He also says larger tax breaks should be available to firms creating
   high-tech manufacturing jobs.
   President Obama says bolstering exports will also help create more jobs
   in America.
   In the Republican address, Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers accused
   the president of excessive spending that would lead the country into
   financial ruin, rivaling that of debt-ridden Greece.
   She says the president is not taking responsibility for making the
   tough choices to cut into the debt and shore up the economy.
