Residents of the poorest parts of France live about as long as people in the rich areas around Paris do. But in the U. Infants in the U. Black teenagers in the poorest U.
In Europe, by contrast, the mortality rate for teenagers in the richest and poorest areas is exactly the same —12 deaths per , Second, even rich Europeans are outliving rich Americans. White Americans living in the richest 5 percent of counties still die earlier than Europeans in similarly low-poverty areas; life spans for Black Americans were shorter still.
The study did not examine other American racial groups. In fact, Europeans in extremely impoverished areas seem to live longer than Black or white Americans in the richest 10 percent of counties.
Third, Americans have a lot to learn about a surprising success story in U. As a result, the Black-white life-expectancy gap decreased by almost half, from seven years to 3. Fourth, if rules-based, free-market innovation is to compete economically and demonstrate American leadership, then the government must create and enhance opportunities for innovators to compete in international markets and garner global funding.
Innovation is the global competition that transcends borders. We must be the first to disrupt our markets, rather than others who could render particular industries potentially obsolete. Their measure of success should be based on how effectively and timely they identify areas for innovation investment shortages, opportunities for modernization, and implementation. This requires mapping, aligning and streamlining disparate yet interdependent policies, strategies and practices across the public and private sectors.
The innovation council also could synchronize efforts with the National Economic Council and the Domestic Policy Council to ensure consistency with administration social and economic policies.
A visionary, whole-of-government policy could improve coordination, decrease adoption delays, and potentially restore the federal budget balance by reducing stovepipes and waste. The technological innovations of the past 10 years have been exponentially greater than those that have been achieved over the previous 2, years combined.
While even more innovation is expected over the next 10 to 15 years, America is projected to lose its innovation ecosystem and political leadership to China. In such a scenario, our national policies no longer would set agendas for democratic norms and values, ethical business practices, human rights, environmental and social impacts, or financial transparency.
But there is more to it than that. The Bureau for Economic Analysis reported that American manufacturers performed 63 percent of all private sector research and development. As of , the pharmaceuticals industry led the way in research and development, but significant contributions were also made in automotive and parts, aerospace, chemicals, computers and electronics.
And for each job in manufacturing, 3. When you buy Made in the USA products, you are supporting jobs and the economy — not just in manufacturing. It should be noted that COVID has caused a significant decline in this output, since many manufacturers had to slow or cease operations to comply with state mandates.
Data from the Federal Reserve shows a Although its percentage contribution to the UN is relatively small - 0. In addition, private American companies and foundations also donate billions of dollars in aid every year. The U.
