5:12 pm
stephanie: now to commitment 2016, and we continue with our series of questions for the presidential candidates. adam: tonight we ask, what would your administration do to create jobs in this country? rick santorum that' s number one, : i mean manufacturing. i believe we have a tremendous opportunity to help the 74% of americans 25 to who don' t have a 65 college degree, and give them an opportunity to be able work and get paid a decent wage, by teaching skills in our high schools and our votech schools, as well as in our technical schools after high school. train people for the jobs, create job opportunities by making america a much more friendly manufacturing place to do it. there' s no question, there' s a manufacturing renaissance going on in this country right now, in spite of the fact that we have a president who is trying to drive manufacturers offshore. now imagine, if we had manufacturing policies that actually encouraged manufacturers to come, we' d be employing a lot of those 90 million people on the sidelines, be able to come back into the workforce, with good paying jobs, get skills. we just need to have the
5:13 pm
do it. donald trump we' re going to : bring jobs back from china. we' re going to bring jobs back from japan, and india, and brazil, and so many countries. we have been absolutely taken over the cold, our jobs have just disappeared; especially if you look at this area, what, i mean the number in new hampshire, and in new england, generally, you look at the factories that have closed all over in new england. we' re bringing jobs back. they' re going to be coming back, like nobody every believed. we lost hundreds of thousands of jobs to different countries. primarily, for one reason, they manipulate their currency to such an extent that our companies are unable to compete. and you have things like nafta, where people would just float into mexico and they float into frankly other places also. we' re going to stop that, we' re going to stop corporate companies can' t get their money back and they end up moving out to get their money and to get lower taxes, because i' m going to cut taxes, very
5:14 pm
re going to have business come back into the we' re right now the highest-taxed nation in the that' s going to change. jeb bush: the government does not create jobs, but it can create an environment where jobs are created. and i know a little bit about this, because i was governor of the largest swing state where 1.3 million jobs were created during my eight years. seven out of those eight years, we led the nation on job growth. and the way you do that is bring certainty to regulation, and lessen the regulatory load, shift most of the regulation back to the states, create a regulatory budget where you know what the costs are for every well intended idea. because all of those ideas stifle job creation. simplifying the tax code is another part of this. embracing the energy revolution rather than trying to push it away as this administration has done. there are high-wage jobs galore in the energy sector and we are not hitting it on all cylinders if you will on that.
5:15 pm
discipline to washington, d.c. is a key element for , high-sustained economic growth. cause the uncertainty that comes with the budget deficits that we have, and the debt that' s growing, will destroy economic activity. adam: we' ll hear from more of the candidates in our next half hour. and read more on where all the candidates stand on these and other issues at wmur.com. announcer: now, chief meteorologist mike haddad with your forecast. mike: after a messy start to the weekend, not bad this sunday. there is still a lack of ice on the big lake and looks to continue tonight and tomorrow as temperatures will be falling but not that much. we have snow showers and squalls that will begin after midnight. in advance of those, there could be flurries this evening. no major issues on the roads until monday morning. roads will likely be slick due

5:17 pm
overnight with clouds, we will not see a big temperature fall so not that cold for this time of year, especially by nighttime standards. changes coming beyond the snow showers tomorrow morning as one system moves east. this one clearly catches up to us tomorrow morning through lunchtime. after that, you will notice snow showers linger north while it clears out in southern new hampshire. tonight and early tomorrow morning, snow showers and squalls. notice the deep blue off the east coast arching back through the lakes region. if anyone of those hits you, you are talking about a quick it of snow and whiteout conditions. about half an hour later, you' re into partial sunshine. tomorrow afternoon into early tuesday, more snow showers up north. we will see complete clearing statewide tuesday into wednesday
5:18 pm
snow accumulations, tough to call where the squalls hit so it is a generalized one to three inches across the state to additional snow up north. tomorrow morning, there could be an isolated spot that gets close to four inches of snow. tonight, a few flurries early. not talking about anything widespread three good part of the evening. after 11:00 tonight, some showers will become more widespread. especially overnight is when squalls may develop after midnight and most likely during the earlier part of tomorrow morning. temperatures fall about 12 to 16 up north and between 17 and 23 elsewhere. tomorrow, snow showers and squalls in the morning. lingering flakes up north. windy and frigid tuesday. on wednesday even though we get

5:43 pm
regulations. so i would look at each one of these regulations, again, looking at the costs versus benefit. and if the benefit is not greater than the cost, we' re gonna get rid of it or modify it very substantially. that' s going to help to free up that economic-engine. also, i would revamp the tax policy. we have a 75,000 to 80,000 page tax code, which is absolutely absurd. and in order for that economic engine to work, you have to create an atmosphere that encourages entrepreneurial risk taking and capital investment. we do not have that. chris christie well, we would : change this tax code to create jobs. this tax code is like a wet blanket on the economy because the public perceives, josh, that the taxes have been rigged for the rich. the reason that they think it
5:44 pm
, and what we would do is get rid of all of the deductions, get rid of all the special interest loopholes, except for two, the home mortgage interest deduction and the charitable contributions deductions. that' s what real citizens use every day. helps them buy a home, helps them support the charities in their community that are doing great work. we want to continue to encourage that, but we want everything else goes, we lower the rates down to 28% on the high end, where it was when ronald reagan was president in 1986, and 8% on the low end, make sure that people can do their taxes in 15 minutes. we' ll be able to fire a lot of i.r.s. agency for we do that and people will be able to feel once of their own money and spend it the way they want to spend it, that going to help to create jobs and economic activity in this country like it did when in the mid 1980' s. ted cruz every time we pursue : tax reform and regulatory reform, everytime we get the federal government off the backs of small businesses and job creators we see incredible we saw it in the 1920' calvin coolidge. we saw it in the 1960' j.f.k. we saw it in the 1980' ronald reagan. as president, i will lead the
5:45 pm
obamacare; to lift the regulators of the back of small businesses and to pass fundamental tax reform, a simple flat tax. for individuals, 10%. you can fill your taxes out on a postcard and we can abolish the i.r.s. that is going to unleash small businesses, job creators, we' re going to have million, of new jobs, of high paying jobs. american jobs. blue collar, american jobs. we can turn the economy around, if we just end the era of big government and get back to the free market principles that we know work and that built america. carly fiorina: for the first time in u.s. history we are now , destroying more small businesses than we are creating. small and new businesses create this country. they employ half the people and businesses. it is why we have more people
