Senator Salazar knows that private enterprise, not government, creates jobs. But government policies and priorities can make a difference to families and businesses. Senator Salazar is fighting in Washington to make sure it lives by the same rules as families across Colorado - don't spend what you can't pay for. Senator Salazar's priorities include paying down the debt and cutting the deficit, enacting tax cuts that help real families not just millionaires and Social Security reform that preserves benefits and ensures the long-term fiscal health of the program.
