Abstract:
Strategic public investment The report states A sound fiscal path must acknowledge that public investments are essential for near-term job creation and for the promotion of long-run economic growth. The recession has led to increased levels of unemployment and poverty, while putting downward pressure on wages and family incomes. Targeted investments would strengthen the economy for the future while repairing the infrastructure systems that serve the country. The blueprint details a number of areas where we believe increased investment is not only needed, but would boost long-term growth and productivity. These include: Early childhood education, Quality child care, Infrastructure, Public transit, Rural broadband connectivity and Research and development
