A lot of the productivity gains that we probably could achieve if we were investing in innovation just simply aren't happening. A lot of the economic activity that could be there, isn't. We could have government funding the types of jobs we actually want. We've been told for so long that we need to just leave this to the market and to the private sector. That's gotten us where we currently are. We know massive changes need to happen, but we aren't taking the steps needed to do that—which is proper public investment in the type of economy we actually want.
