With the economic recovery continuing to sputter, Jennifer Granholm discussed how to get it roaring back to life with Chrystia Freeland, editor for Thomson Reuters. She answered: What programs should America invest in to provide that economic spark?

Mark Zandi, the chief economist for Moody’s Analytics, gave us a three-point plan for economic recovery. What actions should the next president take to scale us back from the coming “fiscal cliff”?

And Jennifer advised President Obama to “go around Congress” to help our economy. She suggested the president launch a competition to boost sectors with the greatest job-creating potential, such as clean energy and advanced manufacturing.
