Innovation: Put Innovation First.
Innovation is one of the central
advantages in today's global
competition. The government should focus
on stimulating innovation by refocusing
on national tax, regulatory, and
investment policies, encouraging
research, investment, productivity and
enhanced education so the U.S. will
continue to be the most innovative
county in the world.
Trade:
Strengthen the World Trade System.
The strength of the world trade system
is crucial in a globalized and highly
competitive world. The U.S. should focus
on strengthening the world trade system
by launching trade negotiations and
financial reforms to reduce the global
trade and financial imbalances, open
markets more rapidly, and enforce
agreements.
Worker
Security: Establish a New Compact for
Worker Security.
Worker security is essential to raising
American competitiveness. The government
should restructure unemployment
insurance, job training, and other
national programs to give workers the
training and support they need to build
successful careers as the economy
changes.
Financial Responsibility: Restore Fiscal
Sanity in Washington.
Fiscal responsibility and restraint is
imperative if the U.S. wants to continue
to sustain its economic advantage. The
U.S. should focus on regaining control
of national finances through tough
measures to eliminate spending, raise
revenue, reduce public borrowing, and
spur private savings.
