The private sector cannot lead the way to more and better jobs in the United States. The private sector is only interested in growth and profitability of the individual firm.
"The strategic responsibility for making Americans more globally competitive can’t be centered in the private sector because the private sector is rapidly going global, and it’s designed to make profits rather than good jobs. The core responsibility has to be in government because government is supposed to be looking out for the public, and investing in public schools, colleges, infrastructure, and basic R&D. "
