Establish a network of Region-based Industrial Investment Agencies to provide secure, reliable investment for local industry, thoroughly researched and with ongoing monitoring. Create jobs, expand and improve industry, and finance public infrastructure – without adding to the debt. In fact, more jobs means more taxes, more income to bring down the debt. *Government seeks to reduce expenditure by cutting or eliminating services.

Government should not reduce service quality or raise taxes, but increase productivity, which delivers more and better services at less cost. Industry does it all the time; why not government?
