Preface
We have gone wrong and we can restore, re-surge and re-build. What? Great new innovative product industries that produce excellent products at good prices that sell in the USA and around the globe, that then produces steady jobs that provide income that keeps taxes down and enables sizable profit and incents investment, ROI, continuous R&D and superior products that are built at competitive prices and helps ensure continuous industry growth. The book begins with the urgings and deeply felt wishes of two Presidents, Franklin D. Roosevelt (D) and Dwight D. Eisenhower (R). Both were strong on the need for the USA to grasp the vital aspects of our productive Capitalistic system and the concomitant needs for health care and other dedicated services for all people.
We advance our proven Behavioral Economic Model, the Central Productive Process and 17 innovative product industries that will make it all work well to restore true Capitalism. We gave part of it to some people in China 30 years ago when we thought they might be the USA’s largest global market. 30 years later, they implemented it. We didn’t.
Now who is whose largest market?
30 years of Role Reversal
We punctuate the model, with realistic, logical and common sense notions gleaned over those thirty years from our “on-the–ground” experience. President Franklin D. Roosevelt and President Dwight David Eisenhower are two perfect examples of “AND THINKERS” as leaders, e.g. defense and human needs along with economic growth and human wellbeing. Both of them seem to have been largely ignored in the last 30 years, while our major competitor China has done it right with a policy embellished by thirty years of peace and neutrality along with economic mastery. Oh yes and a strong military and a strong jobs focus and a phenomenal investment in education. A lot of “ands.”
If the USA does set-up a long term Industrial Growth Plan and an actionable policy to get us back on the right track to economic resurgence and steady jobs we can probably be victorious again.
The rest of this work is a heart-felt request that those warring leaders and elected officials work together to overcome ignorance, apathy and a willingness to battle each other to the death.
We need a “New response” to our lagging and weak economy. We provide many “responses” with hope and optimism. Please find reasons in here to believe us and let’s uncover our greatness and our ability to resolve our internal conflicts with victorious actions.
“Hope and optimism can only be founded on right thought and right action that people can see and feel.”

FDR’s 1944 Economic Bill Of Rights and Dwight Eisenhower’s Warning
Please read FDR’s last gasp message to Congress in 1944 shortly before he passed on after three terms as President of the USA. Amazing but not shocking that opposition from the very wealthy was as true as it is now in 2009. We at the Build Products That Create Jobs Institute see FDR’s vision as a clarion call to each of us. Note that FDR urged us to fix America first even though WWII was not yet over. We see it that way now. Americans must come first and now. I call upon those Americans who are investing in Brazil, India and China to help us by investing in Americans and in this once great, industrialized nation. Peaceful China is winning the new world war through their economic growth and our economic decay. No, this is not a recession. Unless we produce products that are tangible and real we will never get to increase, grow and compete in the global arena. In the past two years, since we proposed 17
