I didn't realize Harvard was on the right wing shill list

They just put out a report that reads like a wet dream wish list from right wing think tanks. This just reeks of Koch funding.

Harvard Gives the U.S. an ‘F’


The report is part of a project launched in 2011 by Michael Porter and his colleagues to understand the disappointing performance of the U.S. economy in recent years and identify steps to restore growth. Looking at the last five years, it finds unusually slow economic growth, declining productivity growth, slow employment growth, declining labor force participation, stagnant or declining real incomes, and a slowdown in small business formation.

...

What’s to be done? In true business school form, the Harvard report offers an eight point plan:

1) Reform the corporate tax code

2) Move to a territorial corporate tax system

3) Ease immigration of highly-skilled individuals

4) Address distortions and abuses in the global trading system

5) Improve infrastructure

6) Simplify and streamline federal regulation

7) Create a sustainable federal budget, including entitlement reform

8) Responsibly develop America’s energy resources
