In the USA there needs to be profound changes to energy infrastructure. The USA impacts the planet. We have to own it and move forward with investments such as those stated by Secretary Clinton.
The USA also has weak and deteriorating infrastructure. We need to continue to improve the quality of our roads and bridges. We need an "Infrastructure Bank." This is something President Obama wanted in one of his "ASKS" of the US Congress. It never got off the ground. The USA has to establish a private-public relationship that provides a stable and profitable place for infrastructure needs of OUR LOCAL ECONOMIES.
Other than those ideas, investment into innovation such as the electric car and safe infrastructure to accompany it. We also need to improve our 'people movement' infrastructure such as high speed rail.
Then there is the fun stuff. When Microsoft (for good or bad) introduced Microsoft 10 there was a growth in GDP. The gizmos and gadgets that make life interesting and fun need laboratory beginnings, too, ie: The Space Program provides incredible inventions for use in our private lives and in the areas of medicine.
The sky is the limit for the GDP, but, we need invention and investment.
