2008 Presidential Election

Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.)

Is the U.S. losing its innovation edge to emerging powers such as China and India?
Americans are concerned about the global economy—and the policies of this administration have only made matters worse. I believe we need a new beginning to the 21st century and a new economic blueprint. The core of my plan is creating the high wage jobs of the future—and we'll do that by restoring our role as the world's innovation superpower. As we enter this new world of economic, technological, and social change, our dedication to innovation will be more important than ever. It will be the key to creating new jobs and to harnessing globalization.
