“Innovation is driving fierce competition across the world and it’s critical that the U.S. maintain its global leadership position in manufacturing – a position that other nations are eagerly working to take away. Sadly, the expired U.S. R&D tax credit ranks dead last and is holding back innovation. This credit means jobs in America and it must be strengthened and renewed immediately.”

Jay Timmons, President & CEO
National Association of Manufacturers
