America's growing economy requires a flexible, highly skilled workforce, and the President is committed to providing American workers with the training that they need to succeed. President Bush has put forth an ambitious agenda to ensure that America's economy remains the most prosperous in the world and believes we must ensure every adult can access the training necessary to close the skills gap in America.
To accomplish this, the President has proposed:
- Restraining spending by the Federal Government
- Working with Congress to pass legislation that promotes economic growth - including making his tax cuts permanent
- Reforming the institutions fundamental to American society, so that they can meet the realities of our new century
- Strengthening high schools
- Preparing Americans for jobs in the 21st Century
- Reforming immigration to safeguard the liberty of America
- Reforming the tax code, and
- Strengthening Social Security
While President Bush recognizes these are big goals, he believes we have an obligation to do what Americans have always done - build a better tomorrow for our children and grandchildren.
