Job losses are causing income losses, which in turn are
constraining private demand, reducing tax revenues and
U.S. Jobs Creation Plan
causing higher deficits.

“Our pursuit of our individual businesses, which
often involves transferring manufacturing and a
great deal of engineering out of the country, has
hindered our ability to bring innovations to scale
at home.” - Andy Grove, former Chairman, Intel
Bloomberg Businessweek article

46. Copyright 2010 SMITH-TRG, All rights reserved. August 2010
Conclusion – ”As long as the scaling
process is no longer happening in the U.S.,
plowing capital into young companies that
build their factories elsewhere will continue to
yield a bad return in terms of American jobs.”
