Honeywell Chairman and CEO Dave Cote discussed the need for an American Competitiveness agenda that would help the U.S. deficit and job market outlook on ‘Nightly Business Report’ on PBS News.
Cote, a member of President Obama’s National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, said that there are six points to an American Competitiveness agenda that would alleviate the national deficit and create jobs.
“The first is resolving our long-term debt problem,” said Cote. “The second is actually having an energy policy. The third is math and science education. The fourth is infrastructure. The fifth is free trade and a more comprehensive nuanced relationship with China. Then the sixth is tort reform. And these are all meaty issues to address with the biggest, most imminent one being debt.”
