fifth largest export market, ahead of Germany and Britain.
• Largest importer of Chinese goods. 10% of all Chinese imports

   Hollywood dominates the global movie making market

    the number of foreign-born has risen by 6 million to just
    over 25 million

The Big THREE

    manufacturing

   Wal*Mart is driving down the cost of
    retailing… and now

   India is driving down cost in services
Challenges Ahead
US trade deficit with China is
now running at $150 billion a       U.S. Jobs headed
year – a record for any country       to foreign soil
                                                                  3.3
New countries, such as                                            million
Honduras, Vietnam, Bangladesh
are now building state of the art
technology – replacing Mexico
                                                        1.6
Corporations are under pressure                         million
to deliver earnings
                                              600,000
Outsourcing has become an
irreversible trend                  100,000

                                      2000     2005      2010     2015
More Eastern European
countries are aggressively
promoting their business
What can we do
   U.S. still has a distinctive advantage
   U.S. has the biggest economy on earth,
    enabling America to make technological
    bets
   Establish long term plans to develop new
    frontiers of information technology as well as
    biotechnology and nanotechnology
   Use cost savings on job creating activities
    and R&D
   Build better educational system and job
    training to graduate the world’s best
A lousy Idea
