Mike Enzi: “we have laid the groundwork for the economic recovery we are experiencing today. President Bush's economic policies…”

“we have laid the groundwork for the economic recovery we are experiencing today. President Bush's economic policies continue to create new jobs and move the economy forward. This all adds up to good news for the American people; not good news if you do not have a job. But this is a job-training program I am talking about so you can get a job, or if you have a job and want a better job, you can get skills improvement. We have weathered the storm and we are poised to enter a new period of prosperity. However, I have to caution you about some serious roadblocks that stand in the way of prosperity for our workers and businesses alike. The first roadblock is a gap between the skills our workforce has and the skills our employers need. The second roadblock is the Democrats' obstruction of the job-training legislation that will help close this skills gap. First I will talk about the skills gap so you can understand just how damaging the Democrats' obstruction is to our workers and our economy.”
