John McCain believes that globalization is an opportunity for American workers today and in the future.
Ninety-five percent of the world's customers lie outside our borders, and we need to be at the table when
the rules for access to those markets are written. To do so, the U.S. should engage in multilateral,
regional and bilateral efforts to reduce barriers to trade, level the global playing field and build effective
enforcement of global trading rules.
John McCain understands that globalization will not automatically benefit every American. We must
prepare the next generation of workers by making American education worthy of the promise we make to
our children and ourselves. We must be a nation committed to competitiveness and opportunity. We must
fight for the ability of all students to have access to any school of demonstrated excellence. We must
place parents and children at the center of the education process, empowering parents by greatly
expanding the ability of parents to choose among schools for their children.
John McCain will overhaul unemployment insurance and make it a program for retraining, relocating and
assisting workers who have lost a job. The unemployment insurance system created in the 1950s needs
to be modernized to meet the goals of helping displaced workers make ends meet between jobs and
moving people quickly on to the next opportunity. John McCain will reform the half-dozen training
programs to approaches that can be used to meet the bills, pay for training, and get back to work. John
McCain believes that we can strengthen community colleges and technical training, and give displaced
workers more choices to find their way back to productive and prosperous lives.
