Bush & Economy - You got a lot to learn A.S. Jobs & The Economy The economy is strong and getting stronger. The President’s pro-growth policies have helped drive the economy and move the recovery forward, putting more money in the pockets of America’s families and laying a foundation for robust growth and job creation now and for years to come. Homeland Security: Protecting the American People The President’s most important job is to protect and defend the American homeland. Since September 11, 2001, the nation has made tremendous progress achieving this goal. Compassion: Removing Barriers that Separate the Poor from Effective Services President Bush has taken bold steps to tear down the barriers that separate the poor from effective programs. He is leading the fight against HIV/AIDS, increasing access to effective drug treatment, mentoring disadvantaged youth and children of prisoners, helping ex-offenders contribute to society and opening or expanding community health centers. Health Care: Making Health Care More Accessible and Affordable President Bush believes that all Americans should have access to affordable, high-quality health care. To achieve that goal, he has created new health savings accounts, created a prescription drug benefit under Medicare, strengthened Medicaid and SCHIP, provided a health insurance tax credit and proposes medical liability reform. Education: Bipartisan Education Reform President Bush submitted his framework for education reform, No Child Left Behind (NCLB), three days after taking office and secured overwhelming bipartisan support less than a year later. NCLB represents the most significant overhaul of Federal education policy since 1965, when the Elementary and Secondary Education Act was passed. National Security: A National Security Strategy that Meets the Challenges of Our Time Defending our nation against its enemies is the first and fundamental commitment of the federal government. On September the 11th, 2001, America learned that oceans will no longer protect us from the threats of a new era. Environment: Preserving the Beauty and Quality of Our Environment President Bush believes that good stewardship of the environment is not just a personal responsibility, it is a public value. Americans are united in the belief that it is important to preserve our natural heritage and safeguard the land around us. Social Security: Strengthening Social Security President Bush believes that we need to explore new ways to ensure that Social Security remains strong and financially secure for America’s children and grandchildren. The President formed a bipartisan Presidential Commission to review Social Security and recommend reforms to put the system on sound financial ground. He has repeatedly stressed the need for modernization of the Social Security System. In addition to saving Social Security, President Bush has proposed solutions to strengthen pension plans and enhance retirement security for all Americans. Energy: Securing Our Nation’s Energy Future President Bush is committed to America’s energy future. Since his first weeks in office, the passage of a comprehensive and balanced national energy policy has been a top priority for President Bush and his Administration. America will be more prosperous and more secure when it is less dependent on foreign sources of energy. Reliable and affordable energy is critical to America’s economic security, national security, and homeland security.
