            Hillary Clinton to Propose $10B Manufacturing Investment

   by Reuters

   U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Friday will
   propose a $10 billion investment in partnerships to encourage the
   growth of the U.S. manufacturing sector as part of a national push to
   discourage outsourcing in the industry.

   The proposal would work with a broader campaign to encourage companies
   to build and expand their U.S. manufacturing operations.

   Clinton is slated to roll out the proposal on Friday in Syracuse, New
   York, ahead of the state's nominating contest on April 19.

   New York has long been a hub of the manufacturing industry, but
   suffered significant declines in the sector in recent years.

   From 2000-2008, upstate New York alone lost nearly 105,000
   manufacturing jobs, according to the state government.

   Clinton maintains a lead in the state, which she represented in the
   U.S. Senate, over rival Bernie Sanders, a U.S. Senator from Vermont and
   a New York native.

   Sanders was born and raised in New York City's borough of Brooklyn. The
   Clinton campaign is headquartered there.

   The campaign said the proposal's multi-billion dollar price tag would
   largely be covered by Clinton's proposed "clawback" tax, which would
   rescind tax relief for companies that outsource jobs or facilities
   abroad.
