that federal and state governments do everything possible toensure that businesses can move forward with their plans to research, develop, bring newproducts and services to market, and, of course, hire new personnel. Such measures will mostcertainly go a very long way in helping the U.S. recover economically and realize its potential asone of the world’s great economic powers. A seventh way to aid in the economic recovery, though it is more of a long-term one,would be to improve the educational system in the U.S. This is controversial because educationin the U.S. is often highly politicized. For example, while Democrats often advocate pumpingmoney into public schools to improve quality, Republicans often advocate merit-based pay
