I support programs that continue to help lower-income and other individuals achieve job training success. Some of these programs include youth and adult job training and coaching, dislocated worker programs, youth job corps programs and grants, and workforce training for U.S. veterans.

| Job Growth |
Creating jobs and strengthening the economy is at the top of my agenda. With 35 years of business experience, it's a topic that I understand. Big, growing, burdensome government gets in the way of job creation and job preservation. That's why I am committed to streamlining government, reducing red tape and bureaucracy on business, simplifying the tax code, and tackling the tough issue of tort reform and frivolous lawsuits.

| Jobs, a General Statement |
|
|
As a small businessman and farmer, I know that private enterprise, not government, creates jobs. But government policies and priorities can make a difference to families and businesses, and Washington has an obligation to act responsibly, and fairly, when it comes to federal spending, the deficit and tax and fiscal policy.
Unfortunately, too many families are struggling, feeling the pain of job cuts and insecurity, and their dreams for the future put on hold or changed forever. I want to be a voice in the Senate for those families.
One of my highest priorities will be to promote policies that create jobs and economic opportunity. I will work with business and community leaders throughout Colorado to achieve that goal.

Yes, absolutely. We should not reward companies for shipping American jobs overseas.
Under my plan, companies with at least 90 percent domestic production would receive favorable tax treatment, as would their stockholders. Stockholders would pay lower taxes on dividend income and no capital gains in common stock held at least five years. We should give stockholders a reason to demand domestic production.
